I notice also that the WOT 6 in post #2 has sling rings / step rings on the front hubs whereas the WOT 8 doesn't.

Presumably the production of WOT 6 & 8 started at much the same time and most parts would have been common then but the 8 got dropped very quickly while the WOT 6 continued to be improved. I have no evidence of this but it seems logical.

David,
Sling rings on hubs were introduced on several makes of trucks from 1943 on wards, Austin, Bedford, Ford and probably others. An indication of loading for shipping with the invasion plans I have always thought.
