I see Lesney modeled the lower of the two decks and took artistic license with the rear wheel openings.

I like this model and I recall them on the roads when I was a kid, but not for milk delivery. I think it might have been for other foodstuffs though.

I am sure that somewhere I've seen an illustration (unsure whether it was a drawing or a photograph) showing this model with a Unigate lozenge logo on the door. I looked for it several times since but have been unable to find it again.

I'm sure we had something like this delivering Corona fizzy drinks

Yes, that sounds very familiar.
