That's the later Indian numbering format, not sure how it works though. However I believe their unit signs followed the British system, in which case the 48 should be idenitifiable.

Are we sure this is F60H or could it be reconfigured F60L? Based on what I've seen there's no telling what those Indians got up to with their CMPs! If that rear axle is a ring in it would explain the sling hub position. Also it's late '45 production (front mounted spring bumper) and I thought they'd shelved the F60H by then.

Body is typical Indian pattern but looks to be purpose built/modified for maximum length, eg. minimal clearance to cab; spare wheel location (which means RH fuel tank removal). Those uprights may have no special significance, ie. just remnant body members. However they're not typical of these Indian bodies so perhaps they're for high stacked loads of bridging like you say Alex.
