Yes the Yumbo was marketed in the UK by International Harvester in the 1970s.
They were French, built to Italian designs and first produced in 1954.
They also had license deals with Priestman, Drott and Mitsubishi as these manufacturers developed their own hydraulic designs.

So I guess the Commer is a petrol? Is that an early Hough loading it?

Pete, it's not a Commer if you look carefully you can see it has the Karrier name on it, I was never sure what the connection was between the two companies?

So it is!
Karrier became part of the Rootes group before WW2, Commer was bought by Humber in the 20s in turn bought by Rootes in the 30s.
In the 50s I think Karrier was the light truck and municipal specialist and Commer the heavier truck. I assume that some components would be shared plus a 'family' style. Rootes were acquired by Chrysler in the mid 60s and that group was already producing Dodge trucks (Dodge became part of Chrysler before WW2). From the 60s on the trucks became more badge engineered and eventually became part of the Renault group. I stand of course to be corrected :dizzy:

Yes Pete,
I had a Karrier three ton tipper in the early 60s. It had a side valve petrol engine. The makers plate read Commer-Karrier.
To add to your Commer history Rootes bought Tilling Stevens which also included Vulcan Motors in 1953. Hence the Tilling Stevens designed TS3 engine in Commer trucks.
