***** Prototype Land Rover was centre drive (not center old chap, mind your
English spelling!) but first production types were right hand drive. (I
happened to see this in a book on Land Rovers in a bookstore an hour ago.)
Confusingly the book called the RHD Land Rover the "first", but then a
number of pages later, shows the "prototype" which has thre centre drive
position! Out of chronological sequence! Confusing. Luckily I kept looking
as the "first" info did not jibe with my memory ... or what I had just
posted to the MV list.
The

marking on the backs of jeeps was quite common in the UK, especially on US
Army jeeps.
