Interesting vehicle type
 
It is the same type as featured in the Canadian war brochure images.

Basically an early 1941 pattern one ton 133" wheelbase van, complete with the short-lived horizontal grille trim, but keeping the 1939 / 40 type six lug disc wheels.

If it was Detroit built I'd call it a WD21 with TD/VD21 wheels and hubs, but because it is Canadian it is probably something like a DD1-133

But left hand drive, it seems. Were the early Canadian Dodges left hand drive....or is it an American built example ? Or left hand drive, because they are essentially commercial trucks??
Lovely picture and a lovely truck

Interesting covers.....
 
The headlights are covered with some kind of leatherette soft black out cover...... never seen that before!!!!!

Strange mix of early wheel parts for a Dodge of that period.
