I did a google image search looking for '1941 Ford Truck' in an effort to see if I could find any of the flat faced cowl Ford trucks.
At
http://auto.howstuffworks.com/1940-1...rd-trucks2.htm I found the image below which shows a shortened wheelbase delivery van. This would have left the factory as a flat faced cowl and had the special delivery van body built on by another bodybuilding company. In 1939 it shows a fire engine with the flat face cowl as well so this proves that Ford USA did make flat faced cowl units in 1941. Most of these would have been LHD but they did also make RHD export vehicles as well and if Ford USA made these cowl units then there is a good likely hood that Canada made some as well.
Another possibility is the desert wreck is a 'seized' civilian one from imported stocks delivered to the Middle East or elsewhere.
