Yes with the smooth sided cab fairly sure it is our first Thornycroft 'Swiftsure'

Introduced September 1958 model should to be Swiftsure HL/JR6 6-Ton.

I believe the earlier Swiftsure AL/JR6-Ton model was introduced in 1955 with the 'waterfall' style cab as on the smaller 'Nippy'.

Thats what I believe also from a quick search, its only used on the Swiftsure, and then only the later ones.

The 4-tonner Swift GL/JR6 also had the same cab as the Swiftsure HL/JR6 6-ton if this 1959 preserved example (WOR 934) is to believed...

edit: confirmed by Thornycroft advert for both Swift and Swiftsure cab design.

Therefore Oldsmobile1897's orininal comment for Swift is also applicable but deciding between Swift 4-ton and Swiftsure 6-ton is a problem based on the movie picture of the vehicle.

Also the same cab was used with twin headlamps on the larger Thornycroft Mastiff (with a front wheel step-ring).
