cl (civilian line) rovers have a single fuel tank filled from the side of the vehicle as opposed to 2 fuel tanks located under the driver and passenger seats. indicator and side/brake light lenses are attached with screws on the cl and they have no oil cooler. as far as i know the cl was not used by the army in FFR role.

the records don't sound familiar to me, i was a driver in the army at that time, they must be RAF docs, but 10 fld wksp is a reme unit based at Tidworth at that time. it would be very unusual for a vehicle to be transferred between services, so maybe it was being repaired by the army for a small RAF unit with no repair facilities.

not only aluminium, manganese burns very well! most non ferrous materials can ignite in a powder like state. note that aluminium and steel should not be fastened together ie riveted,bolted etc unless coated or seperated. they act together like a battery and can generate heat and ignite.
