The "Morris" is in fact a Humber 4x4, could be either an ambulance, heavy utility or personnel and wireless.

I'd say it's a Heavy Utility - their sight is familiar to my eye now with three of them around our campsite at Normandy

Would these be ex-BAOR vehicles? By 1958 surely the "front line" troops were to be issued with modern kit, weren't they?

YOu would think all those ambulances would have made good delivery trucks etc. And the carriers would have been great little tractors to help boost post war agriculture production....

Nah, by 1958 German vehicle production was in full swing again - now who would trade his brand-new VW Van for a tired Austin Ambulance?
