edit: Not S&D NY as it was introduced 1n 1972, alongside NX. Link to "archive.commercialmotor.com"

If it was NY like this the front step would be longer so remains as 'unknown'

Possibly Motor Panels manufactured crew cab?
Seddon had similar although crew cab not found so far.

Still to be found, also Motor Panels probably sold it to other manufactures...

Found, a Seddon 13:Four fitted with Shark rotating-drum continuous loader refuse system from Germany.

Used by the London Borough of Redbridge (also Bristol) from 1968.
