No, none of them did, but they do share the same wheel stud pattern, as evidenced by the number of Farm Blitzes in Australia that have fitted Civillian Bedford Duals to 60Cwts to increase their load capacity for farm use.

It is curious that this same 10 1/2" bolt pattern from WW2 has endured to the 50's and 60's, where it has received the term "Bedford (DIN)" of 8 on 275mm.
