Checked "Char a banc = motor bus/coach (of Golam Hyder and company, of enterprising Mohammadens)" . What a great illustration. A tonga in Pakistan is a single horse two wheel carriage, still plying on roads but getting rarer everyday. The dust of the sub continent is epic as always.

There are quite a few pictures of the Durbar with a "DD" registration. Perhaps a special "Delhi Durbar" series ?

One car not discussed is the Sanghi Alldays & Onions car.

Alldays & Onions was an English automobile maker,[1] it manufactured cars from 1898 to 1918. The cars were sold under the Alldays name. The company also built an early British built tractor, the Alldays General Purpose Tractor.

Believed to be a pre-1905 car
