It certainly looks worn off the cab door.

Bart Vanderveen notes the type in his publications. It was one of the first Bedford types ordered by the Air Ministry and the bonnet sides have been produced with additional louvres to meet an Air Ministry requirement. The RAF had other types with dropside bodies, The Fordson Sussex 6x4 and the Bedford 4x2 OWL spring to mind both used in large numbers.
