OK that's fine all the UK assembled Fords being LHD BUT all the other photos you have just posted including the Australian Ford and the French Ford are all either Full cab or cowl with windscreen vehicles while the desert vehicle is a flat faced cowl unit.

Now a lot of these flat faced cowl units in RHD were shipped as export models either from Canada or the USA for years during the 30's. I remember seeing survivers in New Zealand while growing up there, although come to think of it, they were mainly imported from Canada so our desert wreck could be one of these. But did the Canadian Ford plant still make these flat faced cowl units in 1940/41 which is when the desert vehicle was made?
