G'day Dave,
According to my information an Fv1600 fitted with the Larkspur radio would
be designated
Truck, 1 ton, 4 X 4, GS, FFW, Humber Mk 1, with the alpha-numeric
designation FV1602.

The info I have doesn't specifically mention radios being fitted to the
pure cargo version of the FV1600 which is designated FV1601.

The FFW (Fitted For Wireless) Fv1602 would of course be fitted with the
same 25 Amp 2 speed generator as fitted to the FFW versions of the Austin
Champ.

I would be interested in any other info you obtain about the Humber.

Cheers
