The one on the left looks like an earlier petrol engined Fordson ET 6, while the one on the right has the little "a Ford Product" badge attached to the Thames models. I think it is still petrol engined as there is no 4-D badge on the grille. |

My 4D or ET6 when I was kid were those from Spain built by Ebro Anguplas MiniCars made some nice 1/86 replicas (some are very rare) |

The same cab, but differing front wings and bonnets were used on the Dodge bonneted vehicles, and the Leyland Comet normal control trucks. |
