Tis unusual and does look like it's a tipper truck with a grab.
Nice 580B photos Steve.

From the history page -
Initially the cranes were built on ex- War Department vehicles, which George Jesner would buy up at sales and refurbish before installing the crane unit & glassfibre cab. Later when steel production returned to normal as rationing finished in the 1950's, the cranes used Thornycroft chassis and then Albion and Foden built units. Later, they built custom units using proprietary components by major UK manufacturers such as the Ford trader chassis as it had 4 wheel drive.
The circular raised panels on the cab had a full colour transfer logo of a Highlander, complete with kilt and claymore, with the cab interiors trimmed in a red tartan.

In the photo of the tippers, Trader in the background, TK on the right, next to the TK - is that a Guy Warrior??? The next one across looks US with Trilex type wheels. No idea what the others are. Would this be in Australia perhaps?
Last pic, I'll take a guess at the Ransomes being an MG40.

If a LandRover doesn't leak oil, it's run out.
