934 Leyland Octopus 8 wheel Wagon (1956-64)

Quite possible Jan, I've noticed quite a few inaccuracies and omissions in several volumes of Ramsays. And there are always new discoveries beibng made!

I came across an offer on Ebay France that surprised me. There, a 934 is offered for sale with the yellow band above the radiator and the spare wheel attached with a rivet. It is offered with a 934 box with straight lettering and a stamp AR 356 (= March 1956) in the box. According to GB of DT, the spare wheel was fixed from 22-8-57 with a rivet instead of screw and nut. My 934 with yellow band above the radiator and riveted spare wheel came in an unstamped box with Italic lettering. By me the question then arises: is the practical implementation of riveting here done far before the administration on the Job list or maybe the box belongs to a model with screw and bolt?

Another rare 934 on Ebay France. it's a 934 with riveted spare wheel and a cargo body with no holes for a tank. Only the very first issues were for a very short time without tank holes, while the rivet fastening was performed later (22-8-57). Never seen such a riveted one without tank holes.
