Am I correct in saying that this is a 15cwt with welding plant, or is it a conventional 3 ton Workshop Truck?

Neil,

A "K Light" or as it was officially known "KL", was a 15 cwt truck, described as; "Plant, Welding, Electric, Single operator, Engine driven". Also mated with "Trailer, Gas welding".

It superceded "K" which was a 3 ton 6x4 which carried electric and gas welding equipment as well as two forges, anvils and blacksmiths tools.
