Default Standard Utility

Can anyone identify the markings of this Standard Utility please? It was released by the Ministry of Supply in 1956, with post-war rego 70YG65, and had chassis # 1652. The large "T" is to indicate that it was being towed as a trailer...the owner writes that he used the Tilly on his farm for some years and then cut off the cab and used the rear as a trailer

David,
The insignia to the right of the "T" is of the W.R.A.C., Womens Royal Army Corps.

Default Standard Tillies in Australia

Talking about Standard tillies , here is a web page devoted to them . Apparently about 60 of them were sold in Southern Australia around 1946 .
