Strangely enough, tractor cab doors glazing was not foreseen by Matchbox. The trailer, which simply looks like a larger Whitlock unit, has lost in the development its manufacturer's name (a Matchbox "invention"?):    Regards. Guy

While they were, more or less, standardized on a 1/60 scale (before their 1/55 "period"), Siku, the German toys producer, issued a few rare models in a 1/50 scale:    Regards. Guy
