The official name for this vehicle was "Truck, 3-Ton 4x4, Armoured (Bedford RL)", but many sources also refer to it as the "Bedford "Pig APC". This vehicle was built on a modified Bedford RL 3-Ton Truck Chassis for use in Malaya, but some also reportedly saw action in Aden, Cyprus, Indonesia and Singapore.

An interesting bit of research done by Gordon A. Mackinlay of New South Wales, Australia strongly indicates that the Pig's armour plating was provided by the Royal Navy's Dockyard in Singapore; the armour being recovered from the Japanese Heavy Cruiser Takao in September 1946!
