Just for comparison here are some shots of my Hydraulic set up and PTO, all standard fit, I can't fit and overdrive to my 1-Ton gearbox and nor do I want to.
Military 88s did usually have the razor edge bonnet. I do have a photo of a Royal Navy 88" ragtop with a deluxe bonnet though. All 109"s had the deluxe bonnet, and it was standard on ALL station wagons (ie 88 & 109) but only optional on 88" utilities.
Ah yes, those. They kind of were - they combined the 2286 petrol engine with the 1-Ton gearbox on what I understand to be conventional LHD export chassis numbers. Used normal axles as well. It would be interesting to know what chassis sequences they are on, but I don't think they are on 1-Ton prefixes as officially no four-cylinders were built. Gearboxes probably did have 1-Ton prefixes though.

I have spent all day working on the register, tidying up and updating things, I'm now shattered. I found 53 suspect 1-Ton numberplates using a combination of the free online HPI checks and the DVLA website, mainly for vehicles showing up as off the road.
I wonder how many are lurking in sheds, I know handful are on SORN with recent dates against them.
Hi, it does look like it could be a 1-Ton. The registration looks to be factory issued, and the only factory used series III was built after yours was registered. The factory reg could be a clue to an interesting history though.
Assuming you know the chassis number, have a look at www.onetonlandrover.co.uk which should inform you. What axles are under it?
You dont have to have the straps for an MOT IIRC. If you have bump stops, you must have all four, if none are fitted at all then thats fine. My series III never had any when I had it.
