I found Guy Fay's book about the letter series IH of great interest. Unfortunatly he seems to have only dealt in deatail with the tractors built in USofA and as a result missed several made in other countries. There were Farmalls made in France, Germany and England. M's were made here from 1949 until end of production. From 1952/53 the Super BMD was made at Doncaster. This was I believe the first pure Diesel being glow plug started as opposed to petrol(gas). The picture that just might accompany this is of a special production run to celebrate the coronation of HM Queen Elizabeth 2. The story is that 53 were produced and passed to selected dealers.
