Details: At least three of the demountable bodies built by Locomotors in 1993 have this combination of dropsides and a small crew compartment. This picture shows DB18 mounted on Mercedes-Benz 2509M in the lorry yard at Acton Works on 22nd February 2006. The side-hinged rear doors of the body are designed to clear a tail-lift, and it would appear that this lorry does have a fold-under lift fitted. A slightly odd aspect of this lorry is that what looks like a wheelarch on the body does not line up with the wheels. It is also mysterious why a blue skirt is not applied to the crew compartment. Note that the grey panel above the rear doors is in fact the headboard of crane-equipped Mercedes-Benz flatbed 2553M alongside.
