    Modern cotton overalls are extremely likely to have polyester thread stitching, which means when you use a dye for cotton the stitches remain their original colour.

    Insurers' policies on issuing green cards:- https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/news/2019/02/driving-to-europe-after-brexit--check-when-you-ll-need-to-contac/ Doesn't cover the specialist insurers but it does show the difference in time it takes for a green card to arrive from some of the well known insurance companies.

    If there is a maker's name and part number on the headlights, it may be possible to cross reference them to other makes of military spec lorries and then find the correct headlights. Another thought, is there room to fit a standard round sealed beam unit in place of the current headlamp?

    Tugger With the link to the Ugandan Railway and previous volunteer experience (the spoon was his?)

    This table maybe definitive on thread sizes:- http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~bolo/workshop/thread.html As the 1/4" BSP thread is too small, could it be Whitworth pipe thread? From the table, both are 19 TPI BSP dia. 0.518" Whitworth pipe thread dia. 0.5313" Another thread that is close is the Admiralty:- 9/16" - dia. 0.5556 - 20 TPI
