Bedford military-front and civvy-front types

What was the difference between the MW and the MWD? The MW I assume had just the early pick-up style body and the MWD the canvas tilt?

David,

I think MW is just a family designation, the third letter giving its actual role. Just the same as QL, that does not explain any particualr model.

MWG ; anti tank portee
MWT ; anti tank tractor
MWC ; water tank
MWD ; GS truck (D meant the same on QL. OY, OX, etc.)
MWR : fitted for wireless
MWV ; van (GS body with tilt and aero screen cab)

Would any kind sole like to suggest whether these were ex-military or civvy OWST tippers please? I am sure that they are the latter..the JEH 945 has a 1943ish Stoke on Trent rego.
