What licence category were 4 tonners?

The Bedford RL was originally designated as a "3 ton GS" and could be driven on a standard car licence..

At some point in the late 60s it magically became a "4 ton GS" and required a higher grade licence. The story was that the military had lied about the axle weight when the RL was first introduced so that they could keep using their civvy drivers.. (mil drivers did not need a licence at that time!) although this may be bolloux!

I heard that rumour as well. I also heard that the "Mojos" didn't pass a driving test for the Antars. Any truth?
