1101 Bedford Carrimore Car Transporter
Issued October 1957
There would also seem to be a metallic ? cerise cab which may have been issued with a blue carrier section.
Collectors will have often swapped the cabs and rear sections from several models so many combinations can be seen but these three are, I believe, the only ones actually intended.

1118 International Army 6x6 Truck
Issued May 1959
These trucks can be difficult to identify! There are two types of chassis: one is 'see-through' and one solid. I believe the 'solid' type is the earlier type.
On the front and rear are insignia and you'll find two types: one is the 'Allied' blue and red, the other is a Dutch blue, red and white insignia. It also seems that some models were issued without any insignia but, of course, it can be difficult to be sure they have not simply rubbed off over the years.
The British and Dutch models should have plain canopies and no stars anywhere. There is a US edition that has stars on the bonnet and also on the canopy where is affixed to a flat surface. There seem also to be examples with stars on the doors instead of the bonnet.
Examples with text on the sides of the bonnet are most likely to be later 1133 models but I cannot rule out the possibility of a 1118 model having this text. the problem is that canopies and boxes may easily have been changed so do not provide firm evidence of which is which.
Silver may be applied to lights and sometimes to the radiator grille too.
1133 International 6x6 Truck US Army
Issued January 1965
As described above, these should always have text on the sides of the bonnet and stars on the doors (occasionally bonnet). One definite feature is a star on the canopy that has been placed in a circular indent.
Silver may be applied to lights and sometimes to the radiator grille too.
Despite what the catalogues may say, neither this nor the earlier 1118 had suspension fitted with the revised chassis (unlike the Circus Crane which did).
