I've not seen a Ford like this one ! The tub is a typical Australian well sided ute body but the cab is unusual on a car type Ford
Pretty good reason why you've never seen a Ford like that.

It is a 1939 Plymouth roadster utility.

The first thing I noticed was how the bonnet lifted up one side with a centre hinge and the bead around the front wheel arch.

The Fords of that era had a one piece bonnet with sides down to the mudguards and no bead.
