Care to suggest that the Singapore truck is a C.S.14/80 and the Irish one a C.S.10/80 as with twin rear wheels it must be a 2-tonner as suggested?

David,
The military generally under rated the carrying capacity of its lorries, this was to ensure that the truck could negotiate both roads and cross country with max. payload. Thus.....a civvy 3 tonner could have a War Office rating of 2 tons. From my information, I would say the Irish truck is at least 3 ton payload. The Singapore truck although it has a long body is probably only rated at 3 ton for military use.
