Chris, to the best of my knowledge the rear axle, transfer and front axle were unique to Martian, I have never seen them on any other vehicle. I believe the gearbox was a mainstream Leyland product. The winch on non recovery variants was the same vertical spindle device fitted to the likes of Explorer and Constructor while the steering system was designed by a certain H. Robinson. They were taken out of service twice for modifications to the clutch and power steering.
The first production ones appeared in 1952/3 and there are suggestions that some were built as late as 1964 but I do know that some were supplied as chassis cabs and stored pending a decision as to what variant would be required. The crew cabs were made by Mann Egerton and Park Royal Vehicles while the others had bodies by Marshall of Cambridge.
Although several variants were planned only five went into production, short and long cargo, crew cab artillery tractor, heavy recovery and a howitzer tractor which looked like a short cargo but with a tilt reduced to the height of the cab roof.
Do you have one or might you be looking for one?
