Not sure on the model, I do know that only 10 of them were built, it was a 4x4 with transfer box and a PTO winch, inside it could carry 6 om the back or 8 people on total, it had a concertina door on the passenger side with steps up into the open interior, towards the rear two bench seats which could either face forward or rear by flipping the backrest over, a small bed at the back for carrying equipment etc., forward there was seats for the driver and passenger. They had Dunlop trakgrip/bargrip tyres, The Morris had 1600x20 bargrips and the tyres on the Bedfords were a lot bigger than those. My father had two of them and we knew of a third one that was used by a forestry company near Dunkeld, the other 7 we had no knowledge of, we used them as heavy recovery, the PTO winch was very handy for pulling vehicles out of fields and such.
That is how I remember it, never actually seen them being used, it was always a quick squirt of Easy Start into the air intake.
It's the two stroke mix that lubricates the crank, but the cylinders are set up differently. To answer your question seizure.

Originally they were used to service the high voltage pylons to haul the cables up over the pylons, this would be in the 1960s I helped fit a crane jib to the back of the first one my father bought, it used the PTO winch, but we went back to a manual winch as the PTO was too slow and a lot too powerful to pick up a car, and kept the power winch for serious accidents off road.

originally these vehicles were used out in remote areas of the Scottish Highlands so I guess being able to start the beast was a bit of a priority
When the garage was compulsory purchased we had an auction to sell off everything and the trucks went to the Forestry company at Dunkeld.
I regret the sale of the Morris 1 ton, it was what I learned to drive on and I loved driving it, thing was quite fast too, been in it with my father getting the speedo needle off the end of the scale at 75mph, was a bit of an emergency and the police had asked us to make all haste to get to the accident SCARY! the engine had plenty of go but the brakes, well, they were cable operated and not that effective.
