Marty,

There has been discussion in the past about early CMP's fitted with British water tanks in the UK. Some show a slightly egg-shaped tank, but the truck in question seems to be fitted with the more common Bedford MW style tank. . I have no clear answer if this is a wartime combo, or if this was done during preservation. Maybe Owen knows more(?)

In my opinion the truck is a Cab11, retrofitted with a Cab12 nose, as it's supposedly 1940 built, has no arms to put the doors in open position, fixed windscreen, solid mirror arms, no ribs on top of the fenders going to the marker lights and no cutouts in the rear wall flange behind the driver seat. It would be interesting to see if it has strenghtening plates under the floor....and the brace behind the radiator.
