Hanno:

My bad, I got some captions mixed up and it is, of course, Manila. I had forgotten they drove on the left side up until fairly recently.

To my eyes, this one is pickup based rather than the sort of 1.5 tonners we are used to seeing from Toyota and Isuzu and I would sort of suspect it might be "home made" as were so many vehicles after WWII in Burma, NEI and other South Pacific countries that had no normal vehicle production facilities functioning. An easy way to get more payload from a light chassis perhaps.
The wagon looks to me like a Ford but the picture quality is pretty bad. US forces did use those in non-combat areas, a lot of them from frozen stocks after Pearl Harbor.
