dsl ◊ 2010-11-05 14:08	I'm not an old Humber expert and can only find a reference to Aug 45 changes as "Name plaque on bonnet side" (which does not look as if present here) - nothing about windows. Perversely this Aug 45 version is designated Mk1, with pre-war models known by their my (1939 from Sept 38, 1940 from Sept 39). Nothing about windows for ordinary Snipe/Imperial/Pullman either. Can't help with the plates - outside the date ranges of my guides.

This one matches the 1945+ Mk1 description with the "Name plaque on bonnet side" (shown clearly in chris40's link), the other one does not (which tends to push it back to pre-WW2?).
