I think you will find it is in fact a Muadsley Merlin with Merryweather marquis body.

The Merryweather Marquis was the pump at Dewsbury CB FS AHD 971 Still had Eaton 2 speed axle. Had problems breaking many half shafts.

Dewsbury's Maudslay Merlin II / Merryweather Marquis PE but who owns it now?

I believe from reading the Merryweather house magazine “TheFireman” that this series was first introduced in 1957, which would mean this was one of the earliest deliveries.
