Sunbar ◊ 2017-11-19 12:24	I believe there is a strong possibly its the same chassis that was used on the RRL vehicle as the 1957 Dennis Lancet Mobile laboratory, as previously identified by JCB. A Dennis Lancet based mobile laboratory for the Building Research Station of the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research for service. Link to "archive.commercialmotor.com" Nothing found to confirm it but the proportions look about right including the 'cab-forward' design.
