For CMP Truck?

Cannot say I have seen that brand nor that weight rating for the hydraulic jacks. Usually it is a Walker jack or possibly a Autospecialties jack, and of the 3 ton size.

Hi Rob, thanks for your reply

The owner tell me all aluminium is make the jack. Only mobile parts iron

The military jacks of that era, tended to have a cupped top to fit under a round section axle housing. Just a thought.

I could be wrong but isn’t ‘Dowty’ better known in the aviation industry? Aircraft hydraulic systems?

Could this jack be ex-Air Force?

I think of Dowty for aviation products made of light alloy - whether cast, forged or machined but it turns out they did quite a bit more. The link in post 3 above contains further links to Dowty brochures describing products the company made. Worth a look.

To me Dowty is about Dowty washers. An aluminium crush washer with a neoprene seal molded into it, used in hydraulic applications.
