I reckon that the production staff of the film have been drinking too much of the coffee they apply to the vehicle to "age" it as Mr Kirchner's 1938 Bedford has a curious mix of British pre-war, wartime & civilian markings.

A 5 minute research on the internet would reveal that yellow number 3 on the front bumper - also known as a bridging plate - is incorrect for that weight of truck, the tactical marking is Royal Artillery, yet it also has a wartime savings sign which on a serving military vehicle would be highly unlikely.

But this is all supposedly within the context that the scene is to be set in pre-war Cambridge.

It is indeed unfortunate that with the money being spent on these so called fantasy films, that the actual documented and historical aspects are left to someone with little or no knowledge or motivation to "get it right".

Cdf, you and how few others would know?? And even less will care.

Yes we are impressed with your knowledge of old trucks. As if.

Joining you, being completely pedantic, all of 1928 and most of 1939 were pre-war and 21st century Cleveland is not Cambridge.
