So the bodies are the same, the real difference being in the kitting for a certain role.

Based on the Body Parts List the only difference between Derrick and Winch bodies within the types seems to be the presence or absence of the derrick poles and their securing hardware for storage.

Which is confirmed by these pictures - the rear view of the "Derrick Unit" (top) shows the derrick poles secured on the right side of the floor, while the picture of the "Engineers' Lorry" (bottom) does not show any poles or securing hardware in that position.
For now, I conclude the Engineers and Winch bodies are
exactly the same as they serve the same role, while the Derrick body is
largely identical to the Engineers body, but with small differences, kitted for a different role.
I would be interested to see the pictures from the Body Parts List.
