 Definitely a Thames 5cwt [307E], white indicators usually mean pre-1965 (so not Ford Anglia Van). A good find for Chile.

 Now I know where and when - LHD = 308E, foreign name likely to be 250 Kg Van as 5cwt is only meaningful in English-speaking/imperial measurement markets.

The weight value -5 cwt (UK hundredweight) in words is "minus five cwt (UK hundredweight)".
5cwt = -254.0117272 kg (kilogram)

 Can I help?

We all know what a pound is, 2.2 (approx) of them make a kilogramme.

2240 of them make a ton, not a tonne, that’s different.

Divide the ton into 20 parts, and call it a hundredweight. (Don’t ask me, I only live here.)

So each hundredweight is 112 pounds.

 Or 8 stone, that's 50Kg in Euros.

Thank you, John for the enlightenment!
So one Key to understanding is: german Pfund is 500 grams while british pound is different 1 lb = 16 ounces = 453,592 37 g
Ohje, what is a Ounze now:
1 Unze (ounce) = 1⁄12 pound lb = 20 pennyweight (dwt.)

 When you buy a pound butter in Germany usually you will get 500g - not 453g.
That could be a marketing gimmick to increase your profit margin if you are provider of butter.
But today you won't get butter at all in many stores!

 I have seen such gimmick in the States :/

I have purchased these ice cream that went from 2 quarts down to 1.5 quarts now.

 same for the brand of cheese i buy, lost 20% of the pack ( before 500g, short stint at 460 before reaching 400 )

pay more , get less seems to be the new trend.. ( ok, not that new they started a few years back already.. )

 Cadbury's Creme Eggs are back in the shops, perfect example of shrinkflation, now about the size of a Wren's egg, they've stacked them on the shelf where bog roll used to be.

Andrepa, we are now into apothecary’s weights, take my advice and don’t go there.

When I was a kid, and used to go into Woolworths to buy an exercise book for my train numbers, the books always had a load of stuff printed on the back cover, tables of weights, area, length, apothecary’s weights, number of days in months etc etc.

Now I ‘m a big boy it’s Kempe’s Engineers’ Yearbook, but I can not climb a ladder with 112lb bag of cement on my shoulder, (actually I couldn’t then but I could pick one up and put it in a wheelbarrow.)I have been doing some concreting for my new greenhouse base, and 25kg bag of sand is my limit, and no ladders!

I went into Aldi yesterday, for some fruit and vegetables, that was about all they had left in the store, apart from some very sad looking bananas almost everything edible had gone!
