Hi Chris,
SCC is single crank compound, this has two cylinders, high and low pressure. Agri has only one cylinder.

It's the walk board for oiling up and putting a cap on the chimney when it's raining. You climb over the back wheel usually or on Marshals they fit a little steel ladder to get up on it. Burrells don't have such frippery!
