Sunbar ◊ 2018-03-14 19:48	Correct JCB well observed, its the earlier 1955 A-type's side lights - also the bumper valance is A-type and it appears to be missing the rear quarter glasses in the J types cab. The A type factory production tipper was only on the swb chassis. Not certain but this looks like it could be either a special lwb tipper or dropside truck with specialist built body?
