Commer Q2: Truck, 15-cwt, 4x2, Van

[Alex van de Wetering]

Just out of curiosity.....Does anyone know more about the interchangability of 1950's Commer parts with WW2 ones?
At first sight it looks like the cab, including doors and windscreen might be the same?.....what about engine, gearbox, axles, chassis? Can a 1950's civvy Commer be used as a parts donor for a WW2 Commer Q2, Q15, Q4?

Nowadays it seems WW2 era Commers are very rare.....which seems strange if you see the rows of trucks in period pictures......so, were they that bad? or were they that good, resulting in them being worked to death in post-war civvy life?
