Hi Bob,

Austin started truck prduction of K series in 1939. The vehicle in question would be a K4, it is a civilian model that has been impressed ( census number on cab door shows this).

K4 was not a model used by the military, but was used by Auxilliary Fire Service, Civil Defence, etc and essential users. K4 was rated as a 5 ton payload.
