Pre-war Morris-Commercial query
 
1 Attachment(s)
I acquired this print a while ago but cannot find any caption! It appears to be a MCC CD, and on the cab it says "3.D__. SIGS" then presumably "L" and then "36_719", which looks as though it's a "5" but could be a "3" as in L 363644 - 363746, V.2971, Lorry 30-cwt 6 x 4 G/S. I can't find any L 365719. What were these Signals lorries used for..cable laying?

You are correct on your appraisal David it is indeed a cable layer, i have a couple more photos of the Morris in this guise and will post them once i have located them
cheers

Would that be 3 Det.[achment], Royal Signals then please? I take it that the Census No. makes sense as I suggested?

David,

I put it at L363719 as you do, and is a CDF. A preserved one appeared on another forum this week, quite a rarity.
