I think its a NG cab, the SK had the sloping door windows and a face lifted grill.

That’s it. Thanks!

Ray Smyth:
This Catteralls racing pigeon carrier is built on a Bedford VAL coach chassis.
The forward end bodywork is by Plaxton of Scarborough.

Interesting! Some removal trucks were built on Berliet coach chassis in the 1950s ans 1960s, like this PLR 10 (c. 1955).

And now a very clever German equipment for timber trucks!

Morning mate,
I think they must have some hook loading pallets for plant to drive on, chain down and pull on to the trailers.
Front tyres indecate 4x4 unit, would make sense. Harvey

Seen pictures of something very similar set up for agricultural use ie towing trailers,muck spreaders,driving foragers, and even a couple set up for ploughing and cultivation work.Some are 4x4 but most are 6x6 and 8x8.
