British open cab 6x4 identification

[Sean N]

Looking at the vehicle ID and captured vehicles threads in the axis vehicles section, I sometimes struggle to ID the very similar looking British forward control trucks, particularly the 'pneumonia wagon' open cab 3 ton 6x4s of the late '30s. Thought it might help to post a few identified photos.

This is said to be a Crossley IGL7 - confirmation appreciated. Supposedly the differences between the various forward control IGLs are just in engine, transmission and wheelbase:
