Cheers mate, on behalf of the other members of the band, I would like to thank you very much indeed!
I knew you wouldn’t let us down 
Now, about those right/wrong looking ones…I reckon only the 4th one is a odd ball…any idea of what make that is in the first place? Looks like some project that was ejected to live in someone’s shed…

Weren’t many of those as wag ‘n’ drag around…?

No operators licence, no log books, no HGV…bliss… two trips a week to Italy via Mont Cenis, in winter, decent payload at 42 tonnes, bit sluggish on the mountain though…

I’d guess that you’d make up for the time lost caused by lack of power on the climb with the speed caused by lack of brakes on the decent.

Further attachments included the following…This photo is entitled “Commer Superpoise…” It looks like a 30-ish tonne artic, but the Superpoise was a light truck. Do you have any more information about it?
Taking a chance here, but I’m sure that is not a Commer Superpoise, they only made them up to 6 ton,
even the military 6X4 and 6X6 wouldn’t have been much more…
Another guess that its not a Commer chassis either, they weren’t into the heavy market, and I’ve never seen a Commer grossing anywhere near a guesstimate of 30 ton, I worked on a few as an apprentice from 62 to 67 and they were all 4 or 6 wheelers (conversion axles) we had a Superpoise as a recovery and a lot of T3’s, the company ran over a mixed fleet of over 200 wagons and they didn’t have any heavy ones…another company ran the later Commers with the Perkins engines and had draw bar trailers, but only on light work…I may be proved wrong, I have been in the past…
I’d guess that the photo was miss-named, or it was for another photo in the same book / magazine/ write - up…
Off to dig a very deep trench, and find my tin hat and flack jacket…
Hi Fergie, have this among Commer pics, no idea of copyright ownership, if anybody claims and objects, I will remove it, interesting to the point you make(correctly) in regard to Superpoise limits.
Oily
ETN power you got me there Dave, Rolls C6LF would not have been much more,but Im
sure we will be enlightened by someone with the nowhow.
David Miller:
Re Kerbuts comments the Mack certainly is Madrid registered - probably supplied there - but Spanish registrations dont change if a vehicle is sold or moved. The triangle on the side of the cab, blue with white line, shows that it was operated on an International licence and it’s base was Santander. That detail does change if sold or the operating center moves. In the last 10 years the requirement to show that sticker for the Operators Licence has been removed and you no longer see them. It also has the SP sticker on the bumper which does not, as people think, indicate Spain but rather Servicio Publico (Hire and Reward).
Smart looking motor though and the driver would have been suitably proud of it.David
Thanks for the comments David. Very enlightening.
If I may be brass necked and ask how you know all these intricacies in the Spanish legislation gone by?

It’s a Büssing with an in-house manufactured cab…as was then common to grab and change what you had.

Thanks for clearing both of those queries up, that’ll be appreciated…
May not be the right thread, but I just picked this on a Russian website concerning sleeper trucks. Australian?

The wheels, axles, headlamps and badge look similar:
The similarity to the Büssing in the same fleet must not go unnoticed- the cabs are indeed very similar. However, I cannot find another Büssing with a cab like that, so I must assume that both cabs were built by or for Camerman, and the chassis are indeed what the photographs’ filenames declare.
