Any help appreciated once again!!

Evening Hans:

By the design of the grille and the lack of three bumper guards this should be a 1.5 tonne 4X2 of the 1950 year model, at least if it is of American specs. Since it seems to be LHD, I would suspect that to be the case. So far, I have not come up with more info but will keep looking
Cheers

I think you are right Bill. - 1950 1.5 ton.

Thank you, hope you find some more info, there is a type number on the bonnet side but I can read it if I enlarge the picture it becomes unreadable. Any one able to read it???

Hans:

The emblem on the bonnet side just says Dodge.
My "good" references on Dodge are primarily for the light duty models. However, a D1 is a 1/2 US ton, a D2 is a one US ton and I would imagine this is probably a D3 based on that logic. In US measures, 1000lbs is 1/2 ton, 2000 lbs is 1 ton and so on.
I will continue to look for a better reference.
Cheers, Bill
PS: Cliff, we have to stop agreeing like this, people are starting to talk. I also have to disagree with Hanno pretty soon
