The picture originally posted comes up elsewhere as FT6 Carmichael/Redwing.
The main difference seems to be the fire engines have a rounded front edge to the bonnet (de luxe type) whereas the one in the picture has a cut down standard bonnet. The bonnet also looks longer so maybe the front has been extended at some point in it's life because a larger engine has been fitted ?
