It looks manky enough to be a J2.

I'm guessing its registered '647 BXY' to '671 BXY' by zooming in.

1961 Morris J2 GPO Telephones, sliding front doors and GPO special fitment glass-fibre, two rears instead of single rear door.

Never seen the GPO vans with yellow roofs before, Scottish addition?

I thought something looked different at the back,now realise it is the twin doors.

Weren’t those roofs a translucent glass fibre material rather than painted yellow?

Think you are right.
Maybe just the back is yellow as rest looks grey or maybe it is all same colour and yellow a trick of light.

The whole of the roof is fibre-glass (except the cab itself) as here https://www.britishtelephones.com/vehicles/lightvans/pict0017.jpg
The roof shape is quite different from the rear - a simple flatted curve with less obvious shape to the sides compared to the steel panel.

Extra yellow paint at the back looks convincing in the movie; less so, the trick of the light? Later edit after seeing it afresh; as a result of the film's poor quality and contrast its likely it is weathered unpainted fibre-glass.

Blue/white Husky S2 further back; black next to it facing forward might be Commer Cob S2.

Quite an involved conversion to the J2 ,you would think they would just buy a van with double rear doors!
Government buyers !
