I always remember the difference because the Gamecock has the radiator filler in the grille - Bantam is on top of the panel, just under the windscreen. Remember the G's grille = Gamecock. Its a pre 1958 model as they had the split windscreen which was roughly level with the top of the doors. Later model single piece windscreens also had a higher roofer cabbed and the single piece windscreen went up higher into the cab - about 2" higher than the top of the doors. Hope this helps Cheers

"An underfloor-engined 3-4-tonner, named the Gamecock and a 14-seat passenger vehicle have been added to the Karrier range and both will be exhibited at Earls Court. The Gamecock has a six-cylinder overhead-valve engine which is common to the Commer range, but develops 85 b.h.p. This model replaces the CK3 in all industrial and municipal applications."
