James as we cannot see the front sheet metal it could be any of the 1938 to 1941 models as they all have the same body type from the firewall back.
What we do know is -
A - it is RHD
B - most likely a factory built Ford Panel Van judging from the side mouldings and the roof line that you can see.
If it is a 1938/39 barrel nose vehicle then it could be an impressed civilian vehicle as I think the Canadian/USA Fords did not get supplied to Britain in large numbers until late 1940. They may, however, have been ordered earlier then late 1940.
The photo in the 1938 Prototype thread you posted is a 1942 model Ford which over here is known as the Jailbar model due to the grill looking like bars on a cell window.
