Good point, Loyd Drums and back plates are unique to Loyds, that was the 'big mod' that brought about the MK2. I have read a wartime report concerning the early Loyds which criticises them for terrible brake fade (steering was no longer possible) after a very short period of driving. Those early ones had the truck braking system similar in performance to a Universal Carrier drum setup. It was that bad that all MK1s were retrofited with the Girling uprated system from the MK2 in the field.
