Your canteen vehicle next to the crashed church is a 1935 Ford, last one with wire wheels. It appears to be a standard panel van with the roof and rear doors removed and the canteen "top" was added on. Bill

Model
Apparently a 1935 Model 50? Does that make sense in the Dagenham line-up?

Not really sure, I have never found a good book/reference source on the history of Ford Dagenham. The photo is "in the right direction" as you can read the YMCA logo and it certainly is RHD. As I have no evidence to help me out, it could have been manufactured/assembled in Dagenham or imported from Canada. I just don't know. All I do know is it is a 1935 model. Bill

Another Ford canteen based on i think the 20cwt chassis and the forerunner of the 7V, again a YMCA canteen, cant make out the gift badge on the side but it starts with word allied and USA is quite plain to see

I think...
..it's an E83W myself. Well I did initially. I am no expert and checked my ID chart. They did a chassis-only, van, mobile canteen. However I believe it's actually an E88W 25/30-cwt. The lighter brother of the 7V.

that top photo of the Morris Commercial is unusual Clive i have not seen many pics of this type, it would appear to have been converted from a 30cwt or 2 ton standard delivery van
