Interesting; the caption says built 1957 by FGE and the side of the car says
"Mechanical Refrigeration", but it has got odd Murphy ends and a dirty great
fishbelly underframe, which seems terribly dated for 1950s construction. A
major rebuild perhaps?

The ends look really strange - the top panel in one view looks to have
inward facing corrugations while those on the lower two panel face out; look
at the relative positions of the boards on the end and you'll see the upper
board is some inches further in than the lower
