Default Portee?

According to the book (AWM 126) it was built as a General Service with winch, not as a Portee converted as was Tony's cab 12. It's in a mixed batch of Portees and GS, a couple of which were marked as Portee which was crossed out and GS WW then added, but this one was clearly marked as GS WW.

Other than that it's good buying, especially if the engine is OK, and the roof hatch looks unusually sound too.

The roller on top of the chassis should have been underneath.

Thanks for the photography and painstaking uploads Robert!
