RL=4 wheel drive long wheelbase RS=4 wheel drive short wheelbase H=civilian use C=cab/chassis The shiny grille came with the 1957 facelift at the same time as the C-type (lesser S-types) introduction RS Tipper showing increased ride height Without seeing a front dif, the one in the movie is a normal 1957 S-type (4x2) by the ride height and headlight position. -- Last edit: 2020-03-05 13:25:29
