A couple of differences here: The cab sides have been re-worked and the model on the left has a larger side window, thinner pillars and a glazed rear quarterlight. The quarterlight is filled in on the right model. I don't know which is later but the left model is more refined. Also, the base clips are a different size. Can anyone throw any light on these changes? The few pictures I've seen so far are models with filled-in rear quarterlights.

I've been checking quite a lot of these online and nearly gave up but then I found another one with the glazed rear quarterlight on Gary's Cars. I still don't know which came first though.

I had one pass through my shop last year and it had the glazed rear quarterlights

Thanks Ewan, these seem to be either early or late The filled in quarterlight version seems to greatly outnumber this version on the ones I've checked.

I'd never even thought of it - I'll have a good look at any more that come my way. I suspect that the glazed version will be early because all the references I see to the Guy Warriors call the glazed ones early and the filled in ones late.

That sounds very plausible, perhaps the model was simplified to save money. I don't have a great interest in these but if I have more than one of any model I just have to compare them.
