Carn't stop myself.

Cruise control: not heard of that being fitted in service.
Plate: would have to look at others to compare. Seems odd, as Grant has observed.

Anyone got an orig plate they can put an image up?

Forgot to mention the cruise control was added when the truck had a boom spray fitted for spraying crops.

Very strange. Other 6x6 plates definitely show "Low ratio six wheel drive (lift trigger)", not "Pull trigger".

Also strange, I don't know where my other post went.

So is mine worth more because of the mistakes, like rare coins?

Well, there's your name for the truck, the "Double headed Penny', or "2 Betty 2 Bob".

Or maybe your truck doesn't have low range 6wd and is worthless (or worth less).

I forgot to mention the door stencil/callsign (whisky one, one)indicates your truck was attached to 26 Tpt Sqn Workshops whose unofficial motto was ‘The Camel Bricker’

I still have the same christmas tree deployment symbol stencilled on my trunk and field pack in the garage...

A 'rare' repro plate done by someone who didn't do their proof reading??

As Grant has observed, it is attached with screws (rather than the original rivets.)

Phil, so this was a 'spanner truck': nice to know, thanks. Unit sign would be the 510 over the RAEME background colours when carried in full colour, rather than the muted field markings.

Thank you for all the information it makes the truck more interesting.
All the plates are screwed on it is just that one has mixed screws. If you open the photos in another window and zoom to 250% there is over spray on the top edges indicating the plates have been there quite a while.
