On the C8 and F8 the body wall by your feet was straight and didn't have that recess where the satchels go. The early units didn't put the satchels there but the later ones did. They just stuck out more.

Satchels
Hi David
I am not sure if we are talking about the same thing but I found this pic of a F8 FFW . It has the canvas satchel storage , I think the storage area was made from plywood .

Mike, here's the drawing from the parts list. They're tacked onto the side of the body and not in a recess like the Morris.
Those connectors I got from you aren't for the remote. That's the aerial lead that goes to the aerial coupling unit. I needed them too.

The Morris satchel pockets are the same as in those pictures and made from plywood tacked onto the body. The back of the pockets is actually the inside of the flat metal wheel arch. I always thought that these 8cwt PU bodies were all more or less the same. Ron
