Your bedford was in the batch of numbers 22 RA 04 to 38 RA 99 allocated to bedfords mwd 15 cwt GS there is a no2 keycard for your vehicle which should be at the RLC MUSEUM DEEPCUT this will give the correct census number and as a rebuild the original census number before the rebuild as to any wartime history you will not find any it is very very rare to find details of the last unit it served with before disposal

NICK the records l have on the MATADOR show that chassis numbers 1624 to 1773 from contract T9569 were fitted with the A193 petrol engine

JON l hope you do not think my comment was any form of criticism only it seemed to me strange as on your other project your eye for detail was and is outstanding REGARDS WALLY

Sorry you have not given any details of what you want look for information attached on plates on the passenger side chassis rail in the cab. Look for the chassis number stamped on the passenger side chassis rail below the cab floor it would help if we knew where in the world you come from

this is from a book compiled by brigadier K Timbers royal artillery institution on the subject the 25 pounder gun limber and quad and other contributors from the royal artillery and museums the article on the quad was compiled with the help of Richard and Micheal Peacock both well known for their restorations of quads and the CDSW artillery tractor also Richard was a major serving in ww2 with the royal artillery with both of these types so l think it fair to say these people should know a thing or two on this subject
