Austin Van 470 was created by Andysprite

I recently found this Austin van in a local antiques shop. The number on the baseplate is 470 but in all my searches on the web for this number I can only find a Shell Austin van in green and red. The paintwork appears to me to be original. Can anyone shed more light on this?

It is a 471 Nestles van. Per the Dinky Toys Encyclopedia, the early issues still had 470 marked on the base.
