What i've found of the later era that I have interest in, up to the current. Is that while there was WW2 stock, that was used. I have a shovel for my 1961 land rover that fits well on the 1981 well, and it's a WW2 dated shovel. in the 60's there was a reasonably large program of purchasing new equipment, and now it's just whatever fits at the hardware store. However Trojan do seem to have supplied the equipment for some time.

As far as I can tell it is a generic pieve of equipment for use on any vehicle, not specific to one type or another unless it is a special tool.
