Follow-Me vehicles

This one looks like it is parked in a standard type wartime hangar on an airbase in Ontario (based on the license plate that seems to match the pattern issued to the forces from 1943 to about 1954). The wingtip behind the truck is too high to be an Anson or Crane, seems to be on a tailwheeled aircraft and is shoulder to high mounted which suggests a Mosquito or larger bomber. It also looks like the hangar has been set up for either instruction or display based on the cards standing on the tables. The baloons suggest "special" event of some sort. I don't recognize the make or year of the truck, my ignorance is showing.
