Anyone come up with a total of Commer Vans in the following pics used for the various bands? Certainly an interesting assortment of band names there.

The Cossaks bus states its a bedford but is clearly a Commer in album A

I reckon the Fooysappers unidentified bus is a Commer too

The Footappers looks like it looking at the handles either side of the windscreen. Also, the Jimmy Johnston Showband's vehicle looks like a earlier Commer Express van.

The Cossacks may have borrowed the Beatles Series 1 Commer bus for a band tour [8D]
