Wout,

As a resident of Hoogland i am very interested in where this plate was found and if there was found more.
Could you tell me some more?

This plate identifies the type of body on the truck, in this case a General Service 3 ton cargo body.

Thank you,

Sjoerd van de Wal

I would say at best guess, this contract plate is from the body of a post-war Bedford and likely to be a 1950's model RL, going by the Contract prefix and the type of plate.

Sjoerd I wouldn't know where this plate in the surrounding of Hoogland is found.
I'm going to see if I can find out.

Gr. Wout
