Well known preserved O-Series - http://ccmv.aecsouthall.co.uk/p330183212/h1e715bc4#h1e715bc4 , http://ccmv.aecsouthall.co.uk/p330183212/h184a860e#h184a860e , https://www.flickr.com/photos/dscn8785/5922003600/ , Link to "www.flickr.com" - variously described as 1950 and 1951, but DVLA says Jan 52, which matches the original issue date of ERS 378 in Aberdeenshire.

"... as they move the whisky from place to place in a 1950 Bedford O Series. “The interesting thing about that truck was that it was immaculate and we had to distress it to make it look a bit older and more used than it was. The owner was very good about that and then we reinstated it again afterwards. It belongs to a gentleman in Perthshire who stayed with it and in fact drove it during the filming so he got a part in the movie too.” " - from here.
