A-ha!
Thanks a million Les! I am just writing about the "Searchlight lorry, Thornycroft, type ZS/TC 4, three-ton, four-wheeled" that was the subject of a brief reference in the 1938 WD Mechanization Board Report for VINTAGE ROADSCENE issue 96.
The pilot lorry was possibly L 376774 to Contract V.3067. The trials lorry towed a four-wheeled, semi-mobile sound locator trailer, and looking at Canadian DND papers I assume that this was a Brockhouse one? I can imagine that by 1941 (late) the non Tilling-Stevens petrol-electric Searchlight lorries were 'obsolete' and then rebuilt as G/S lorries instead. I have a photo of two GMC S/L 6 x 4 lorries, ACKWX-353, ex-French, at GM Ltd's works in 1941 awaiting rebuild. Following on, does anyone have a photo of a Karrier C.K.5 6 x 4 please that I could use?

Thornycroft ZS/TC4
This is the first photo that I've seen of a ZS/TC4 with the BEF
It shows a searchlight truck no. L3915833 abandoned outside of De Panne In the foreground is a 1940 season BSA WM20 with the ever so rare Lucas MT1130 rear lamp, the current price of which would have bought a semi-detached house in 1940 !
