"Chelsea Food Products Ltd". CLL 817 - or CLE/CLF - behind the starting handle were late 1935 into early 36 London issues. The Vauxhall on right might be a crew car - lots of glimpses; also perhaps the Prefect on left.

 According to this: -

Link to "en.m.wikipedia.org"

you can deduce the model designation from the payload, number of axles and engine type. Anyone fancy a crack at it?

The starting handles always amuse me. The thought of trying to swing a Gardner Six into life on a cold morning in February is enough to banish all romantic notions of becoming a "Knight of the Road", or a Silver Knight for that matter.

 The cab (windscreen shape and headlights) looks more like the early 1940s than the 1930s to me and it could be GLL registration so could be 1942 I think (by enlarging the picture).

If early 1940s it would have the AEC engine during wartime as specified by the Ministry of Production.

Six-wheeler by the thumbnail, possibly 10 or 12 tons; a ten tonner would be Atkinson 1066A or 1266A for the twelve tonner.

 Agree 6-wheeler onscreen - difficult to capture clearly. GLL also possible - July 42 to May 46 "allocated in blocks", so WW2 or early postwar - 817 suggests later so maybe 1945. Looks a big load so 12 ton .....

 Atkinson used prefixes H, M and L (for heavy, medium and light duty frames), see comment here /vehicle.php?id=1096070#Comment2255184

Some searches for 1266 chassis in all three forms H1266, M1266 and L1266 appear to result in both M1266 and L1266 frames but not H!

We could assign either M or L or leave as unspecified here.

edit: 1266 is 1260 chassis with '6' Gardner engine therefore 'A' (AEC) is redundant.
