So in Season 7 There was one UNIT Land Rover, this one, at the start and then two more joined later on.

When comes to other 3rd Doctor Seasons maybe I can find more when i get to them :think:

dsl wrote Assuming these are all the same one, with a strange grille which I don't think I've seen before and also empty sockets for what I guess were unusual side indicators. So it's a weird one, without obvious explanation.

Cross-over from here. If in reality there was only one Landie used with this grille but several different plates, they could all be untangled, but probably a lot of effort for relatively little gain. So can probably be left as they are, as we don't definitely know it was a single Landie - maybe 2 or more had this weird grille for whatever reason.

Given that Doctor Who especially in the early days was made out of carboard and couple coins out of a tiny purse and some bubble wrap, it's entirely possible. :think:
