I believe that we have here a Model not C011DF but EC011DF, to Contract V 4699 / S/M 2030. They were assembled in Dagenham and then issued to "various bodybuilders". Because of the "E" for "England" prefix these must have been assembled in Dagenham or Ripple Way, Barking and NOT the CMD at Slough. They were officially chassis-cab units bodied as "Wireless Trucks", G/S etc. S/M 2029 was for Chevrolets "for Egypt and England", and Contract S/M 2031 was for C.15s. A photo of a F8 G/S to S/M 2030 is IWM reference KID 1964. KID 2088 was for a C.8 "for Egypt" with sand tyres by the way.

The Census numbers for the "Utility" versions of the S/M 2030 contract for EC011DF trucks are:

M 1164621 to 1165081
M 1165123 to 1165319
M 1166320 to 1166415

The reference to Model EC011DF is from Ford's Dagenham pictorial listing from 1942, which states that they were Code VOC.
