Seems a bit of a mix-match, Keith. Certainly a Ford, but what is with the Chev grab handle on the roof?
Plenty of room for rear suspension actuation too.

That's a Canadian Ford grab handle. The two handle version was Australian Ford production only.

Indian Army (Navy?) truck; see WD upwards arrow as registration number prefix. Curious markings though!
