Can someone identify this truck?

I'm hoping someone here can give a positive identification to this truck. My thoughts are a Morris but others say a bit of Fordson. The straight across windscreen has me baffled so I turn to the experts. If anyone wants a higher resolution scan, send email request to bob42100REMOVE-ME@yahoo.com

Thank you,
Bob

Morris
 
The Fordson had a V8 engine.
I would say this is a Morris CS8.
The windscreen seems to be a rebuild by the gremans, as they often did.

I agree
 
...CS8T Mk III as my friend just said!

Morris certainly, the timing chain alone gives that away being the odd configuration where the dynamo is chain driven and acts as the tensioner.

It could be a PU though but it would need a Rory Ballard to answer that one.

I would say it is not a PU8 because it looks like the glove compartment behind the hand of the man at right (and below the horn). On the PU8 is was not a glovecompartment, but an other configuration where the passenger could have his feets (more space). The CS8 had a glovecompartment, and the C4 did not have one, neither the PU8. Making all thre vehicles different inside the cab.
But sure someone else can put more lights on this.

Guys,

Thanks for the positive ID. I never heard of a CS8T MK III but CS8 works for me.

Here is the Field of Dreams shot, German truck show in France 1940 :)
