I understand where you are coming from . But remember that pic, the photo of AIF V-5252 is of a 1 Ton GS Van with 123" wheelbase, obviously with the separate cab/tub configuration. What's confusing is, in that parts book , GMH are calling that setup 'type E9 with special coupe body and canopy top ' . But, as far as I know, the longer wheelbase 1 Ton model was never fitted with a coupe style body ( I've never seen one anyway ), the coupe style was only used on the shorter wheelbase 113" model. Getting back to the E10 and E11. these are both the shorter 113" wheelbase models and the two body styles are there to be seen in the pics so nothing to dispute really ! A tip for you : The 1 Ton model has the short running board that end at the cab , the shorter 15 cwt models have the longer running boards that extend to the rear guards. The 15 cwt has special 7-50 - 16 tyres ( different to the civilian narrow tyres ) , the 1 ton type has 700 - 17 tyres
