You might be thinking of Fred Crowthers of Sandal, Wakefield. Their livery was very similar to Greens, and they did run Traders along with ERFs. There’s a shot of them in one of Bob Tuck’s books if I remember right.

This is one of Crowther’s ERFs,not in colour unfortunately,but their livery was similar to Greens.Not my photo.
I can’t think of any company in Sheffield with similar livery though,at least not at the moment…
