Wireless box
Interesting seeing the steel box for the mounting of the wireless set in that 8cwt 1A2 body. The line illustrations from the DND 8 cwt body publication show that a wooden table was fitted for the wireless set, similar to the British 8cwt FFW bodies. Just to the rear end of the wireless steel box is the long bracket for the fitting of three canvas 'signals satchels' quite a rare thing to see the bracket still there. The late David Pope rescued a few of these 8 cwt bodies - I hope they were saved by somebody and didn't go to scrap.
#694: 8-cwt canopy frame? Doesn't appear to be from a 8cwt body, well at least not the short 1A1 type.
Alex, if you need any details of the body i.e. dimensions - I have the drawings that Ian Richardson (UK) sketched , Ian had access to a original very early 1A2 with the single rear lamp.
It also has the rare speaking-tube panel still fitted to the rear of the cab I have the drawing for this panel.
