A nice pair.

Here is the "New" ice cream van I photographed last Sunday.It has taken me a couple of days to find a picture of their other 1961 JB ice cream van so you can compare the two.
KFL 954 dates from 1960 and should have the same Morris badge as WLD 759.
I understand the vent/grill at the rear is for the chiller cabinet, operated on "mains" electricity the cabinet is plugged in at night to chill. The ice cream is then scooped out into the cornets when being sold. These vans do not do "soft ice" piped into the cone.
WLD uses the original J type windscreens and surrounds while KFL has custom made windscreens and quarter lights.
