As for the different interior layouts of the bodies according to my manuals the ambulance body styles 3F1 and 3G1 had the blanket locker with water tank on top at the Left of the front of the body with the attendants seat on the right side up front.

The Ambulance body 3G2 had the exterior water heater mounted to the right side of the body so they reversed the layout so the water tank was on the right front corner of the box.

The 3G1 ambulance had a recirculator, (whatever that is?)
I see in the picture that the water tank is square. That may have a special water system?

Derk,

Thanks for clarifying the different interior layouts! Very interesting stuff.

Attached are 3 pictures of the Ambulance Hanno and I viewed; It has 576 miles on the clock and as far as I know it's still for sale.

Thanks guys. The question about interior colours came up on a model building site. The answer was a light beige colour, however that may be true for British built ambulances, but clearly not for the Canadian built ones.
