We have here a 1980 Bedford TK. Its model number is KGLC3 which I believe makes it a 300 cubic inch petrol model (4.9L) with 167" wheelbase (4.2m). Amazing that Bedford were still making petrol trucks as late as 1980. At some point it was converted to CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) and later a diesel fitted. When we bought the truck in around 2005 it came with a Bedford 466 diesel and five speed.
Power steering wasn't fitted to KG models when built (nor was the 466 diesel engine!) so it seems that yours has been updated with parts from a KM.

Here is a KM reservoir:-

Though local sourcing might look different.

I don't remember where it was fitted - sorry.
