Interesting that it is also described as "Flash Spotting Tower". A description that is mentioned in one or two books/articles on Bedford QL bodies but none with photos or full description. I wonder if any of the other photos show the tower errected.

Noel,
There is a photo of these towers on QL's in Bart Vanderveen's Bedford military vehicle book. They were not contained within bodies. I think that caption on the Ebay photo is from one of the other photos. The one shown on Ebay is a rebodied Portee (converted to GS) by looks of it.
