About 30-45 seconds is very good for someone who is not a CMP anorak like Keith  I agree with David, it's a cab 13, probably a 3-ton or Field Artillery Tractor chassis. The cab top has been removed and two small aeroscreens added. I cannot see any clues as to it's role: GS, FAT, it could be anything. I would hazard a guess this is a Ford, simply because the South African Recce Cars in front of it have a Ford v8 flathead, too. Hanno

Yes, but I have never seen a four wheel drive version before. I wonder if it was converted by All Wheel Drive Ltd, as they did some Thames Traders as well.

Hanno, when I enlarged the pic in Photoshop and did some adjustments the grille took on a square pattern so it is a Ford. Chevs were a diagonal pattern. It has a radio but by then most trucks likely had radios whatever their main use was. The passenger seems to be quite proud of whatever he's wearing around his neck.
