There was a huge order for Jordanian Phosphates in the late '60s, with left-hand-drive.
A Commercial Motor Earls Court report on 30th August 1968 stated:
‘The cab used on the 6 X 4 tractive unit for the Jordan order is made by Motor Panels. It is an all-steel sleeper cab and will in future be standard for ERF export vehicles. The model is designed for use overseas at a gross combination weight of 47.8 tons. The engine is a Rolls-Royce Eagle 220 bhp diesel and the transmission is through a Fuller RT0915 15-speed twin-layshaft gearbox. The two-spring, double-drive rear bogie has a lockable third differential; final drive ratio is 6.91 to 1, giving a maximum speed of 46 mph.’
