Default Anti Tank Tractor

I answered my own question about the anti tank tractor. This pic of a 15 cwt pulling a 6 pounder is off Colin Stevens website. I can't tell if it's a 2A1 or 2B1 body but it's one or the other. I wonder if they used a winch on this tractor version. A higher resolution copy of this pic would be nice! The two soldiers near the front must be standing on the tool box.
Now I just have to come up with a pic of the AAAT1 with an anti-aircraft setup in the back.
All of these body variants were used with the 2B1 bodies on the cab 12s too. In the body parts list manual it says to use the 2B1 if replacing the whole 2A1 body as it's a direct replacement.
According to the manual, the 2A1 and the 2B1 both use two long and two short U-bolts to hold the body to the frame.

Here’s a the pic which is similar to the one that David posted. It looks like it was made on the same day and location. Sad to say he is no longer around to enjoy it.

Also interesting to see the wooden (?) extension on the top edge of the body.

Yes, exactly; it seems to run the full length of the body, not just the "normal" small board with the two brackets.

Here's a photo which could well have the previous or next frame in the film:
