Post-war conversions: C15TA to Tippers?
			 
			 
			
		
		
		
			
			I am intrigued by several CMPs listed as 'GMC' as 'make' registered in Oldham Borough Council in 1947. These were 3-ton [60 cwt]  'Tippers', and yet the chassis numbers are all 8 4449 etc. i.e. C15TA chassis! Does this make sense that the armoured truck chassis were rebuilt with say a new cab and new body? WD numbers quoted include '158367', '158361', '158371', '158319', '158277', '158343', '158285', but these do not tally with any known series unless these were Mid-East allocations. Anyone ever heard of C15TA trucks being allocated such Census Numbers? 
 
For Morris fans, here's one for you: 
 
EBU 105	Morris (ex WD) Chassis		7511	56 cwt lorry	18/8/47	'C8AT1961FWD' whatever that means!
