Thanks for posting the Crusader brochure and spec sheets, DEANB! They clear up a mystery for me: I’ve always thought that they were randomly fitted with Fuller 9, 10 or 15-speed boxes according to taste but it now becomes clear that 220 RR Crusaders had 10sp Fullers, 280 RR Crusaders had the beefier and newer 9-sp Fullers; and the 305 6x4 Crusaders had the 15-sp Fullers. Nice motors! I sat in one at Gaydon in June. Robert

No, by the time the Foden was registered, 1981, all the CWS flour mills had closed and the trade absorbed by Spillers. As a guess I suggest that its from one of the CWS dairies, possibly Fole.
