As far as I know were the "long" chassis used before the short ones. A friend of me here has one with the short chassis and its serialnumber and DoD are later then mine.
As far as I think the short ones are all the BRKD 5 model and from one single contract.

Evening Hendrik,
The Arborfield Wrecker with the "underslung" hitch was built in December 1943, while remember yours with the single roller and extended side brackets (also like mine) was February 1943, so it would seem that during 1943 the multiple rollers and "underslung" hitch was introduced.

Chris: what was the build date for your one in the Ashton Armoury?
