'XB' registration so Coatbridge, North Lanarkshire, Scotland? Looks to be a suspect 'MP'/crown logo on the side for London Metropolitan Police.

Likely to be any old van re-purposed as a black maria. The side panel possibly looks like poster 'frame'; Royal Mail van (did they exist as a PV?) or a newspaper delivery van.

Looks to me like MXB 334 or 384, London series "allocated in blocks" Jan 52 - Feb 53. We have some recent sightings of restored survivor MXB 344 such as here.

London Series XA to XG were reallocated to certain Councils that had been either newly created or had run out of indices. 1964/5 cut off date I think, so that all new allocations were used with a year suffix letter, if no suffix it would be London CC.

XA. Kirkcaldy
XB. Coatbridge
XC. Solihull
XD. Luton
XE. Luton
XF. Torbay
XG. Teesside.

Hence the change.

I don’t ever recall seeing a PV used as a PO van, they seemed to go in for the bonneted variety.

I guess I should have recognised the similar PV registration 'MXB 344' but anyway I have fallen foul of the re-allocated London to Coatbridge XB series previously must try harder to remember! :mad:

Royal Mail Morris-Commercial light vans I associate with J-types so yes a larger PV would be very unusual.

^ Yes, they seemed to jump straight from the J to the LC without using the PV, so there must have been a policy change about 30cwt vans when the LD was introduced.
