At the end if the day the Loyd was a cheap parts bin lash-up, you can imagine Vivian and the other guys sitting around the drawing board and coming up with the original idea! We will buy everything in and then knock up a sheet steel tub, job done
The parts book gives a good idea of this approach: Loyd special parts include the cross shafts and rear axle, controls and body. Everything else was taken from the standard Bren Carrier parts book, this was good in the field as all the wearing parts were common with the UC.
