The grill and name device resembles those on the AEC buses of the era.
It is a S&D truck, Shelvoke & Drewry, made in England. This model was usually fitted with refuse collection body, cesspool or gully emptier equipment. According to Bart's book, S&D model W fire appliance was supplied to Australian forces in 1952, not a very rapid vehicle normally !
