I thought that to be odd as they did not merge into BMC until 1952 and no Austin military trucks that I am aware of, used that type of winch. But somewhere in the back of my mind, I am sure the Austin actually built some Morris Commercial military vehicles during the War.

Ahh, I've just answered my own question, I missed the second paragraph on one of your messages, David. About Austins building C8 FAT, that would account why Austin and Morris name was on the winch part. We're learning all the time !
