If you can catch the badge… Morris?

Plate reads ARD 439. The truck is a Morris-Commercial LC3.

The truck is a Bedford, not a Morris-Commercial. WTL?

Now that I have made further research. You're correct on the lorry being a Bedford. To answer your question, it does look like the WTL. The plate is already identified now it needs for dsl's eyes to see them.

The Bedford WTL 3-ton was a semi-forward control truck with two-piece windscreen...

With a one-piece windscreen and normal control its a 1934-1939 Bedford WLG 2 ton 143" long wheelbase Truck

The second thumbnail appears to show a two-pice windscreen. Is it possible also that we have a coach built cab as the roof looks a bit odd.

Its the wiper arm and blade, pivoted from the top, that is seen I believe.

edit: (2) two different registrations? but same series.

Main picture has a Bedford standard windscreen

The thumbnail, the windscreen is not the standard 'Bedford' style (curved edge at the bottom) so it is coachbuilt.

The windscreen appears to be split horizontally in the thumb.

The lower part looks to be body coloured (painted) to me.

Almost like the original windscreen was damaged and replaced with a rectanguler glass only about two-thirds the original's height? Possibly its hinged at the top and slightly open but the lower area does not look like glass to me.

A Bedford WLG with horizontally split windscreen, so some did have them! Also the main picture could possibly be the same.

Old style radiator grille August 1934 to July 1938, therefore a 1938 chassis registered in 1939 probably because of some delay when building the body.
