DEANB:

This one has a taller cab than the others. Was that cab a leftover from the two-engine D-series project?

Edit- the cab is the same, apart from a different front panel, to accommodate lower headlights and bumper:

I guess the 6x4 had a deeper chassis, so the cab ended up higher, so the lamps had to be lowered for legal reasons?

Ford D Series makes its way through the traffic on Belgrave Gate in Leicester in 1969.
