Here's another Ford E01A in use by war correspondents in the Middle East:

Alan Moorehead was an Australian-born English writer who would go on after the war to write several critically-acclaimed histories.

His AFRICAN TRILOGY is one of the better accounts of the war in North Africa. What stories that Ford could tell.

Owning two vehicles fitted with 900-13 tyres , interesting rim swap overs are possible i.e., the Morris 8cwt rims swap with Bofors rims and Land Rover rims. Fitting a Bofors rim onto a LR hub requires the centre hole to be machined out, enlarged, I have a few 13" rims with that particular mod having been done, a great mod if you wish to play in the sand dunes with your Landy ! I believe at least one of the Len Beadell outback surveying team Rovers had Bofors rims fitted.

The Humber 8 cwt also used 13 rims" but I'm not sure of the stud pattern on those wheels. The Ford WOA2 was another, do those UK Ford rims swap over to Canadian Ford hubs ?

While I would build it as a street rod and not military, one of my goals in life is to restore a 1940 Fordor sedan.
Or, maybe I should do it military like this. Thanks to Les for the photo and, yes, it has been here before. Just a nice shot.
