As mentioned earlier, someone once told me it was an ex-Stores truck, but I actually think it might have been a Workshop truck originally.....as it has the panel/cover on the right hand side, near the front of the body (for battery charging?)....and the steps on the tailgate are further apart on a woskhop truck when compared with the stores body.

Attached are some pictures of Clive's Factory photo's CD. Cab12 Stores and Cab 13 Workshop.

There is a period (close-up) picture in the Canadian archives of a soldier charging batteries from the right-hand side cover of one these bodies....but sadly the Library website seems to be offline at the moment (?). Anyone have the picture on their harddisk?

Excellent Alex, thanks!

The person altering the body by taking out the wheelhouses must have taken his job seriously and removed the external parts as well to make a neat job of it.
