Default Markings?

I take it that the markings are British? There is no visible WD Census Number, nor an Egyptian WD style plate I could see. Therefore I was pondering whether this was a Dunkirk/French campaign captured truck, and like so many Fords and Chevrolets, captured, refurbished and then shipped out to North Africa? Ford plants in Antwerp and the Netherlands [Rotterdam?] and also the Matford facility in Possiy were used to repair ex-French campaign Fords, both British and French Matford, plus Belgian and Dutch Fords.
