Numbers
I can never remember the reference numbers, but the top photo is of a conventional Mack 6 x 4 like (Lucas, Lukas?) takes everwhere in Europe to all the shows. It's lovely but no ball of fire on the road, and could well be rated at 12 tons as it's pretty much just an on-road vehicle. Diesel, of course. Closed cab pre and post war, with open cab maybe 42-45 maybe just for the military? They have those cage-type wheels with detachable rims where you can change the rim but leave the hub and spokes on the axle while you do it.
The second shot is the numerically more common NM (maybe?) which as Matt pointed out used to push every snow-plow in Britian at one time. It was rated as a 4 ton 6 x 6 but that was off road so it was probably the equivalent of an 8 ton civilan chassis. they were originally petrol but I suppose a few got re-engined later. Gordon
