Hi David.Thanks for your comment.

I think I made a mistake because of the poor quality of the photo. The "Romanian" truck has exactly the same wheels as the original.

Oddly enough, there is very little information about English military vehicles. For example, even such a famous vehicle as the Leyland Retriever remains a mystery to me.

I can't figure out what kind of car this is?
Fordson Ten (10НР, Мodel C) with a radiator mask from Fordson Eight (8 НР, Мodel 7 Y)? Inauthentic restoration or was this car produced for the army in this form?
1.Fordson ?
2.Fordson 10HP ( Model CX ) 1934-37.
3.Ford 8HP (Model 7Y) 1937-39.

The logo on the radiator mask is hard to see. It is probably a Crossley. The truck itself is very similar to the Crossley 40/50 HP model 1923 from Vanderveen's reference book (1974 edition).

1,2. Albion model?

3. The shape of the hood and radiator mask of these trucks is very close to the A20 model.

4. On the website https://trucksplanet.com/ru/models/albion-sb24/ these trucks are designated as Albion SB24, which in my opinion is incorrect. Albion SB24 30-cwt from the book by Vanderveen (1974 edition).

5. Civilian subsidized version of Albion 30-cwt. Probably this is the LB24 model.
