British army trucks of the 30s: identification

[Konstantin Chernov]

1) Leyland Cub KDSX1 WD.There is no information about this truck. A high-quality photo can be purchased here https://www.britishcommercialvehicle...fice-l015016q/ I don't understand in what form the photo can be purchased: printed or electronic. In any case, it is expensive for me
2) The civilian version of the Leyland Cub KDSX1 is mentioned in The Commercial Motor magazine, 1934.
3) Leyland Cub KZDX1. I can't identify the uniform of the soldiers in this photo. Maybe it's one of the Baltic countries ? Source of the photo - Е. Д. Кочнев. Энциклопедия военных автомобилей 1769~2006 гг.
4) Leyland Cub KZDX1 in The Commercial Motor magazine, 1939.

This is the Lithuanian Air Force https://www.plienosparnai.lt/page.php?501
Model designation KDXZ is probably incorrect. In the lists I mentioned earlier (1936 and 1937) there is only the KZDX1 model.

1-3. Morris Commercial R . Imperial war museum Duxford.
4. Morris Commercial R 12-15 cwt. Vanderveen 1974.This vehicle differs from the previous one in the headlight mounts. Probably the correct designation of this model is R.10/15, where the first number is the wheelbase in feet, the second is the load capacity in centners
5. Morris Commercial R 12-15 cwt (?).This is how this truck was labeled at the Beverly Army Transport Museum when it was on display there. I don't know if this is the correct label. This truck is distinguished by its “civilian” cabin, the location of the parking lights and the absence of a perforated partition under the radiator. Could this be a 30 cwt?

1. Two months after the start of World War II, an exhibition of Leyland military equipment was opened. From left to right: Lynx Truck, M.A.P. 11 - Beaver-EEL Airfield Defense Vehicle (WLW5), L1710344 - Retriever Breakdown (WLW4), and L1712679 - Retriever 6-Wheel GS Truck (WLW1).
2. The 1968 Vanderveen Handbook lists eight variations of the Retriever model.
3. One of them is the WLW3.

Great news for all fans of British military vehicles. Eighteen British Military Transport editions from 1939-1945 are available for purchase or viewing online. They contain a large number of photographs. Unfortunately, the author clearly lacks information on some vehicles (such as Leylands). The most interesting and rare photographs have also been unfortunately reduced in size.

1.The truck looks a lot like a Crossley, but what model is it? The cab layout is similar to the Thornycroft A5 for India http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...51&postcount=2. The radiator guard has two crossbars, and the design is similar to that installed on the Crossley IGL6 and IGL8.
2. Crossley IGL6 http://www.crossley-motors.org.uk/hi...IGL3/IGL3.html
3. Crossley IGL8. British Military Transport 1939-1945

1. In the publication British Military Transport 1939-1945 (Part 13), this truck is designated as the AEC 644 Marshal.
2. AEC 644 Marshal from the same publication.
3. Comparison of both vehicles. Differences include the headlight placement, radiator guard design, radiator mask, and the presence of towing eyes.
4. The truck in the first photo is very similar to the AEC Mammoth.
