Derek,

I have had a lot of experience with "C" vehicles used by the RE and would put that machine down as an Aveling-Barford. There was also one made by Muir-Hill, which I think were base on running gear of the Fordson Standard tractor. Incidentally, skips are something else, these vehicles are known as Dumpers, where as the much larger versions would be dumptrucks.

(A skip in UK is an open container with hoooks on the side to be loaded on a specially equipped truck)
