    Think about military version, but never see one picture military Rover series 1 or Minerva,

     

    (not think SAS, desert or other special version)

     

    mean 1950s era, yes with photos write "military" but where the weapon holders , shovels , pickaxes ?

     

    And have one interesting vintage photo 100% Minerva, but with series one fenders(?)
