Richard, you're the man! I've just spent a very long hour looking on line at Aveling- Barfords and Muir-hills and I found this little piece of kit, the Muir-Hill 562. However, the only pictures I could find on-line were of the Matchbox series of toys, but one can see the obvious similarity to WWII picture taken in Caen. The two pieces of equipment are virtually identical. If this toy isn't the exact model, it's very close. Thanks for the help. I'll continue to look for more info on this model. Derek.

STOP THE PRESSES!

The model 562 isn't quite the same as the one in the pic so I used the Dogpile search engine and VIOLA! (wait a minute, isn't that a musical instrument?) I mean VOILA! here's the real McCoy, no model number but the website called this a 1938 Muir-Hill dumper. This one looks exactly like the one in the Caen pic.
