Can someone shed light on a rare Diamond T in South Africa?

Hi Paul,

I have located a Diamond T truck in South Africa. I think it’s around 46-47. It is a Model 404 HHS, Engine JXE CB (Counter Balanced), Chassis # 40411369, Chassis weight 5350 pounds, Max weight 14700 pounds. It is a Right Hand Drive and has two rear axles with only 2 tyres per axle. Most unusual I think ? There is a reduction box on the two rear axles. It looks very complete with only the air cleaner missing and maybe one or two other minors.

Do you think this is perhaps a rare form of Diamond t truck ?? I know they are rare in South Africa as I have heard of none in the country. Could you shed any light on this particular truck ?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind Regards,
