Trying to ID BEF vehicles

These vehicles were pictured at Tournai on May 10th 1940. I'm trying to identify the type of these vehicles and the unit. Code seems to be 245?

Perhaps one of you can help. Many thanks in advance.

Here is another one in Brussels. Is this an Ausin?

Many thanks

It's certainly civilian impressed. 'HPD' is a Surrey series issued November 1938 - January 1939.

I can't see a white bar above the '25' which would denote Corps troops so it may well be with a Divisional Petrol Coy. RASC. If there's a white triangle on the wing then it's 1st Infantry Divison.
