Default Beford QL with US-manufactured body

Further to the subject of CMPs with US-style bodies (DAK ambulance? and Chevrolet C60L with early GS body), here´s a pic of a Bedford QL with a US-manufactured body:



From the book 'Bedford to Berlin and Beyond': "What at first appears to be a conventional QLD turns out to be an 'special', this time in the form of a special steel body, know as 'US Type Steel', which has no wheelboxes, thus presenting a flat floor, albeit with an higher tailboard than the usual version. This vehicle was probably one of about 10 special bodied versions produced by SMT and Spurlings on a contract for 2000 assorted vehicles."
