That's a very interesting picture and something made me go back to it after a little thought.
The number on the cab door is of a very familiar font and size to me.
I recall many of the Corporation's 'service ' vehicles, allocated to the Bus Dept, Fire Dept, etc were lettered in that way.
I also seem to recall that under the ID letters was the City coat of arms and under that, the address of the town hall with the name of the town clerk.
These areas correspond to the ones painted out on the lorry shown. It would have been interesting to see the reg no. and the colour of the truck. Pity it didn't survive......I wonder ??
