Wow lovely old girl!
Someone  might know a little bit about her on here ..but this forum has mainly on CF bedfords  from the 1970's .
Theres some pages on face book that have commercial  bedford trucks,  i think you will find more info and knowledge of yours there.
And where to get parts.
God luck on your resto and plz keep us posted with pictures of your progress!

G'day Acco,
Is that wagon from the Cowra sale?  Well done.
  I'll hazard a guess at 1938/39.  Vauxhall put the first 214 engine in then, just before releasing the KMO range which looks similar.

Gently scrub the chassis tags with a rag dipped in metho first, then turps if no improvement.  We are looking to confirm which of the stamped numbers is 'Chassis'. 
Another way to narrow down is wheelbase length.  It is likely, 120, 143, 111, 157 or 167 inches.
