This Dennis chassis was also found with prewar Magirus ladders. I grew up with EHN118, a 1938 27 metre Magirus which was badged “Morris Magirus”. This was to promote John Morris, which was the UK importer. However, I believe London’s Dennis Magirus ladders were still badged by Dennis.

Ed: West Ham's 1924 TL was on a Magirus chassis with John Morris fitting the Magirus ladder in the UK. The 1928 TL was on a Dennis chassis with John Morris fitting the Magirus ladder in the UK.
