Mike,
I have a parts book here for Contracts 5067 and 5820, it lists the Slave Battery Socket as LV6-MT3/10166. The location appears to be on drivers side of bulkhead, but unclear whether in or outside. Obviously the latter, from your photos.
Now going to the MT3 Vocab, more info is available;
SOCKET, 3-PIN
10166 Round, 1 inch pin centres, waterproof with covers.
To Drg. CIM(B)894. For Bedford slave battery carrier, Leyland,
AEC, Matador, Albion and Thornycroft, Dennis.
That is all I can find at present.
