Any idea what this is?

It would appear that GMOC, Manila were supplied from the US, in which case all I can put forward is a Chevrolet-Thornton 6 x 4 chassis [1941 Models were ordered by the French and taken over by the British] if it is a Chevrolet, or a local conversion similar to several that were available in the UK from 1925 onwards on Chevrolet and later Bedford chassis.

I was thinking of a DAF's TRADO bogie (walking beam construction like on Scammell's) because of the wide track and single rear tyres. But a TRADO bogie is a bit out of place in The Philippines....

Is that a 'woodie' Ford wagon on the left? Perhaps Australian C11ADF ex-Mid-East or did the US forces have similar wagons?

Yes, it looks like a Ford Station Wagon, but it being a C11ADF is unlikely as the US military used Ford Station Wagons as well.
