All we need to know is, what vans 'Pickford's were using in 1935/36? (Bedford?)

That's too long ago even for me :) The only 30s Pickfords van I found was a 1932 Leyland Badger, and this isn't one because they were bonneted. After the war they used O-type Bedfords and Guy Vixens on removals.

Here's that Leyland badger (due to the angle of the movie pictures, we can't see if it has a bonnet?)

I think this is smaller than the Badger, and if it was bonneted we'd see more of the front wheel and wing. Maybe Guy Otter, 1934+?

Or Bedford is a contender also...

Agreed, its impossible to say if it has a bonnet from the little seen and the body width.

Pickfords - London branch here - small in size 2-3 tonner probably.

The CM Archive mentions the delivery to Pickfords, Ltd. of the 1,500th Bedford vehicle purchased by that company up to June 1939.
