Hi Clive,
Your raising more questions than answers I think.
My "Commer" is plated 1953, same as the book.
Was this manual provided in each truck? I believe the Australian order was 100, and as the only export order that would mean only 100 Commers, so the 250 may not have anything to do with numbers produced.
Australian Army used the Humber Operation/User manual.
Your Commer manual was obviously released to the British Army (10th Light Horse).
Seems logical that this may have been for the planned civilian market.
I think it only fair that this manual be reunited with a genuine Commer One Ton as soon as possible......(Now which door pocket does it go in?)
Rich.
