The ambulance is a WW2 Austin K2 / Y . The pommes kept these in service for years after WW2 . A batch of them were sent to Aust. during WW2 , and issued to ambulance units in the capital cities, the drivers were women AWAS . A few years back a wreck of one was found in outback NSW . The body on these was a doped canvas skin , on a wooden frame and not many survived intact !
The other trucks are WW2 era OY series Bedfords , 4X2 . Again, the British army had them into the early 1960's, mainly in territorial units - the part time reserve army
