Nick Johns Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 (edited) There were a few pre war 1939 Civilian Commers in Oz, but not 1942, UK would not be exporting anything then, its more likely its a Post war, 1947/8 Commer Superpoise https://www.hcvc.com.au/forum/truck_Chat/17670-commer-superpoise-q15-1948 Edited December 9, 2022 by Nick Johns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goanna Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 (edited) The Snowy Mountains Hydro Electric Authority in N.S.W. used those Commers during the early days of the SMHEA - late 1940s. Edited December 9, 2022 by goanna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9triton Posted December 9, 2022 Author Share Posted December 9, 2022 This was from the web . All look similiar ww2 and post ww2. The one in my orig post seems to have different style wheels with 'scallops' out of them. Anyone know if any clues there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
