the body looks like a home grown version I'm guessing it in Aus ?

For interest to Pete, the chassis number was WLW 1/308739 and engine number 74253. All the lovely brass plates were in the cab, inc. the large lubrication chart.

That’s amazing the truck in your picture is 153 units after mine on the same contract ! Contract No 294/V/3929

My frame No is 308586 it was part of a total order for 1215 trucks mine was part of a batch of 500 search light trucks 4409889 to 4410388
The one in your photo was part of 374 machinery trucks 4410454 to 4410827

Small world isn't it !
