Made in the same plant on same production line. Also a lot of Commers were badged as Karriers for New Zealand. Because of the import licensing in place there, each importer was allocated only so many vehicles. If it had a different name (badge) it was a different vehicle and more could be imported - who's fooling who? Same thing was done with the Hillman Minx which could also be bought as a Humber 80 in NZ! Minor trim differences but same car.
