Nah, they’re Ashok Leyland, but a later model than the ones we discussed earlier. They don’t have Leyland cabs though- those are 1980s-era Ford Cargo pressings. These photos confirm it:

According to this, both types are still available:

You can have a Cargo-based cab or a chassis cowl. Those DAF2600-type ones are coachbuilt jobs, then.
Ah yes: gotcha! Robert

An aptly name Good luck water supply co truck. When I was there all the trucks had horn please on the back.
These trucks had no indicators or lights or mirrors so if you overtook one without blowing your horn and you got wiped
out I suppose it was your own fault.
Good pics! They still all say BLOW HORN on the back.
BTW, I do remember seeing pictures of articulated buses in Bombay back in the '50s / '60s when I was a boy. I’ve found some examples online (see below). Robert
