Whats the trailer with the tractor on. I used to pull one like that

I can't think the reverse bucket would have a huge amount of push and, from the photo, bucket articulation may be limited. The bucket linkage does look to be different/modified from the standard.
The trailer has King on the neck.

Yes a reverse bucket abd opens at the back like a face shovel

I had not looked closely enough! I see there is a wire bond on the rare of the bucket which presumably opens the rear?

The last picture must have been for an angle on the Reiver as it would be pig to load for the shovel driver. Is the old bonneted unit with the Perkins badge a Bedford?

Love the old JCB 3C with the Dodge cement mixer, sums up my childhood school holiday up without saying a word! Keep the pictures coming.

Go on, spill the beans!
The second lorry I had a ride in was a Dodge 500 4 wheeler tipper, new in 1966.
No HSE in those days. At under 10 I would clamber on to the back of the tipper to level off. Days before weighbridge and the load was by volume.

Bedford O series I think.
If a LandRover doesn't leak oil, it's run out.

Bedford O series I think.

It looks surprisingly chunky but with the Perkins, I would guess P6, it would only muster about 60bhp. I suppose in the day that set up was limited (in theory) to 20mph.
Just looked, the P6 could muster 85bhp in higher revving Road vehicle application.
