Default Otter tire manufacturers

I came across this Otter and wondered about the front passenger tire? The drivers front is Firestone and rear Dunlop but I haven’t seen that tread pattern before.

Cheers

I believe it’s referred to as a Goodyear “banana” type

I recall seeing a few of them in pictures of field guns, Morris Commercials, Guy Ants,- Probably inter war British? Likely terrible on slippery sidelings.
The "rubber shortage" (supply chain issues) meant that any tyre was a good tyre.
