Default Karrier 6 x 4

Can anyone please help? Bill sent me some pre-war British truck photos including two of Karrier 6 x 4 chassis which he says were 'WO6' models as supplied to India. I cannot find anything on this model but in 1935-6 the War Department used C.K.6 6 x 4 3-tonners and I wonder if these were the same or developments thereof?

Added: WHEELS & TRACKS # 5 has a photo of a 1938 C.K.6 and whilst there are similarities, the C.K.6 has a two-pane glass screen and round front wings/fenders whereas the 'WO6' has no front screen and flat type wings/fenders. Definitely looks in the latter case as though it was a different, earlier model. The front rad looks more pronounced in the earlier truck as well.
