Hi David,

Do you have a copy of the Vauxhall Motors pamphlet dated Jan. 1944? It is titled Bedford Vehicles and Vauxhall Cars, Supplied to Government Contracts or MOWT Release.

There are sketches against each entry, a Food Flying Squad canteen is listed as; OXC, 30cwt, 4x2, Mobile Canteen.........body by Spurling

There are no MW, OX, OY, QL models as such, they are family designations, each model has the full three letter reference, here is a list;
MWC water tanker
MWD GS truck
MWG GS truck with gun mountings
MWR fitted for wireless
MWT Anti Tank tractor
MWV GS van
OXD GS lorry
OXC Bedford-Scammell 6ton semi trailer lorry ( with sides)
OXC " " " " " flat platfom lorry
OXC mobile canteen
OXC Bedford-Scammell semi trailer petrol tanker 1200 and 2000 gallon types
OXC " " " " dropside lorry

Never seen any offical reference to QLC semi trailer as a QLS though.
