This vehicles real identity is a Scammell Explorer, which was the replacement for the wartime Scammell Pioneer SV2S. The Explorer is a 6x6 Breakdown Tractor and would originally have carried a petrol engine, although many have diesel replacements.
In summary it is definetly not wartime, but a 50's inmprovement on a wartime theme ( in my humble opinion not as good looking though )
