Also the dark area similar to the Commer badge is too high, on the Commer it would be lower. It is probably an Austin J4 unless somebody has a better suggestion. /vehicle_63683-Austin-J4.html -- Last edit: 2011-10-31 11:10:57

Not saying it's a better suggestion, but I'm wondering about Standard Atlas, perhaps in 1961-ish Leyland 15 and 20 version to give right badge outline - eg /vehicle_50858-Leyland-15-1965.html and http://www.aronline.co.uk/blogs/2011/07/12/features-carbodies/ but the humped roof is different.
