My mistake, I was thinking Dutch body, but put down a Belgian builder by mistake.  So I will be more straightforward:  Is the body by a Dutch manufacturer?

OK, Dutch body on a British chassis?  Say a Pennock body on a Leyland chassis.

However it's not Leyland or Pennock.....

Van Leersum is correct but not on a Bristol chassis
LOCKED for you (I also need a year for the point)

Thanks for the lock.  I'll try a Van Leersum body on a Guy chassis.  I think the seen is early post-war so I'll set the date as 1946/'47.

Yes it's a Guy Vixen with a Van Leersum body of 1947 - well found!
