Interesting to see the double headlights. Not common as far as I recall. Did they need it in a well lit city?
Each fire authority had its own variations it seems. The Dennis 'D' for Devon had 45 variations to the standard model. One saflety aspect change was the fuel filler cap and pipe being situated on the near side rather than the off side.
