The "unknown" Bedford on trade plates has a Mulliner body, surely, rather than a Duple. The trade plate just about reveals the initial registration letter to be a 'B' or an 'E', so perhaps it is EUK 534.

Roger Cox is surely correct in saying that the "unknown" Bedford has a Mulliner body. Worthington's had 37 of these uncommon Mulliner DP bodied Bedford OBs from 1947 to 1950. Apart from EUK 534, the "unknown" OB could also have been EUK 533, 535, 540 or 892.
HJW 269, shown as a rear view, was a 1950 Bedford OB rather than a SB. (Above information from PSV Circle Fleet History of Worthington.)
