A pair of 7200 gallon tankers were built by Commonwealth Engineering in 1965 for BP. These two JTE class tankers were numbered 342 and 343 and were of a frameless design. The tank was of larger diameter between the bogies than at the ends. They were designed with conversion to standard gauge in mind.
