The type designation comes originally from the British Army. The Machinery lorries and trailers had letters denoting their types or roles. There was a K type based on a 3 ton 6x4 lorry, which was declared obsolete early in the war, it carried electric welding plant and generator, gas welding / cutting sets, 2 forges, 2 anvils and 2 blocks. It was replaced by the KL type fitted to a 15cwt 4x2 truck, now my belief is that KL stood for Type K, Lightweight.......unless someone else knows better
