Appears to me to be a standard 3 ton or 30cwt 4 X 2 with a 2 wheeled trailer behind. Seems to be a RHD as well.

Now I could be wrong here, but it looks like they're waiting for the girl at the right corner to get off her mobile phone

If I was really clever, and looked at that bloke in his shorts, I should have guessed you'd be up next with that comment.........but I'm not.

Colin,
I thought the same as you and was about to add my post when I went down the page and saw your post. Great minds think alike! Rick.

Anyway, back to the photo.
Is that the bridging plate on the right front mudguard? It has 9 which means that it is more than likely a larger 6x4. A 4x2 would have a lesser rating. (I might be wrong though.) It is a really good photo. regards Rick

soft skin ID
I think that the lorry is carring some captured allied soldiers, note the British tin hat and the blokes behind him seem to be wearing turban headgear, perhaps that is why the caption mentions british and Indian troops, John.
