Do I see a split rear axle differential? From this grainy picture I would not wager to ID a vehicle. But the tow hook is the typical British one, leaving Fordson, Morris-Commercial or Bedford to choose from . . .
I´m sure one of the MLU members has a census listing from which one will be able to deduct what type of truck Z4846358 was. On the TWENOT forum, I read the Dutch were allocated the census number block 1283563 to 1288562. However, these must have been supposed to be allocated to their own vehicles. I´m pretty sure those supplied by the British War Department were meant not to be renumbered. H.

Interestingly, the picture shows a Fordson, but the census number range was allocated to Ford trucks ![]() H.

It has been assigned "L1284684" and is shown while use in training in the UK in 1940. (Surely the "L" is a mistake, a utility vehicle / light truck like this should have been assigned either an "M" or "Z".)

![]() I have had a quick flick through the re-printed Chilwell census lists and can see no trace of 'Fordson'. It looks as if for contract purposes, the supplier was always Ford. |
