Default Bedford wartime models

Hello:

I found this thread very interesting. I was wondering if anyone might have the answers to my questions.

(1) Taking into consideration any battle field or other losses, what were the years that the Bedford OXD like this served in WWII and what units might it have been assigned to?

Also, were these also used by any of the Commonwealth armies?

(2) I tried to find any war time usage of this vehicle but I haven't had much luck finding out too much information on this vehicle. Was this ever used in WWII as a transport?

Default Captures

I am amazed that the Heer had so many captured vehicles in one place! I assume that they were rebuilt by GM Continental in Antwerpen, though I am subject to correction!

Sorry ,I did not realise that it has the the bonnet/side panel removed in the rear view and it look likes the mudguard is completely seperate like the Morris.
