I think limegreen is referring to the fact the Britains version has "stepped" mud guards, and a shorter bonnet,but none of the real tractors have that, they are all square,

I believe the model is based on a Steiger Bearcat, which is the smaller brother of the Steiger Cougar. Steiger used Cat engines and Ford Cummins. I seem to remember from the Ford bible by Stuart Gibbard that the FW-30 was a derated FW-60 so with the large Cougar frame. So the Britains FW-60 should be more accurate. There are some FW-60´s with stepped mudguards, depending on model year I guess. These are later versions with square headlamps.
