Alex,
The Q15 had 7.50-20 tyres and the Q2 had 10.50-16, so front wings are likely to be different due to the tyre widths.

Thanks Richard. Just out of interest...Did you see any wartime Commers some through the workshop in your REME days? Or were they allready sold as surplus in favour of Morris C8's, Bedford QL's etc.?

Sorry Alex, I must have missed your message! Only the Q4 4x4 trucks from early 1950's. I did overhaul some engines for these.
