Default Mystery truck

This is an extract from a photo taken around 1958 I think at a petroleum distribution facility. The truck appears to be ex-military and to have __ D O D G on the engine cover but I don't recognise those wheels which look like a Mack's to me! Any ideas please?

Default Model?

I guessed it said 'DODGE' but which model is it? Not seen one before. It may in fact have been a civilian wartime import. Thanks.

Having had another look, The Dodge badge is usually central on the side of the hood/ bonnet, and there are too many letters, aren't there?
