Thanks for the update. I did not recognize this car other than it appeared to be purpose-built and assumed (wrongfully) that the source had superior info. Looked like it was designed to handle heavy loads on very "uneven" pavement. Not the most attractive set of wheels on the '39-'41 roads. Given to the British as part of Lend Lease?
Could this front end have been inspired by a character from the '36 version of Flash Gordon?
