You couldn't remove the engine without taking off the hood and that angled radiator brace.

This would mean that if the engine was removed on above picture then the hood etc. should also be removed (nobody would fix it any more at a destroyed truck - except: Think that they were Fench ;-))
Is it this, what you mean?

Kuno the big photo is not much bigger then the thumbnail but I agree with the others about the bonnet and radiator still being in place means the engine is probably still there as well.

Which is not to say that the cylinder head, ancillary stuff etc. could not have been removed.
To my eyes, something is missing but I agree that probably the entire engine block assembly could not be removed from the bottom. On the other hand, that was almost 70 years ago and not many of us have ever removed an engine from a vehicle in the desert. Bill

you are correct Bill I think something is missing too. Normally from that angle you would see part of the air cleaner and carby sticking up at least but looking at the photo you could be right and the head has been removed. But again it would have been easier to remove it if the bonnet was removed first.
