Alex.

I think you have spotted two different Search Light Trucks in Post 18.

The second truck sports a top bow stored at the front of the box, has no Jerry cans in the left rear stowage rack and the left rear mud flap is missing.

David,

Thanks! You are quite right; I hadn't noticed that. Well spotted!
