Looks like a couple of ex M.O.D. Bedford OYs under the hopper there Dennis. These motors could be seen all over the place in the 50's and 60's. All the coal baggers had them. The only place that you'd see one now would be in a transport museum. That's if you were lucky.

Elf and Safurty wouldn't let you get away with slinging and lifting a load like that these days.
