Thanks for the pic and info, Richard!

It seems the GS body in your picture had higher sides than the one on the survivor.

Attached goes a scan from Vanderveen's Observer's Fighting Vehicles Directory WWII. Turns out the K2 was the closed cab version of the Truck, 30-cwt, 4x2, GS (Austin K30).
Since the 30-cwt class was largely replaced by the 3-ton class during WW2, I was surprised to learn the K2 was produced from 1939 right up to 1945. Would the production numbers include the K2/Y ambulance?
