Russell, I think you can assume yours is the last engine type.
Your engine number is 40xxx and the changes accured at 33000 and then again at 36320, if I am understanding correctly

That looks like a Bedford M type, lower payload than an O type. You can distinguish it by longer bonnet and different pattern of louvres on side panels.

Hi Rupert, Eades is an old English name, but my great grandparents were born in N.Z. (in fact he was a bigamist who left a wife and six kids in N.Z. and went to Australia and set up a new wife and six more kids!) The long arm of the law was shorter then. Closets and skeletons! Every family has one. (or two)
