From the 3rd photo it is easy to see that this vehicle is a flat faced cowl unit and did not have doors and a cab as such like a normal full steel cab. Local, wooden framed bodies were normally built for this type of vehicle which were a common type of truck export at the time.
in Bart Vanderveen's the Observers Fighting Vehicles Directory WW2 (revised edition) page 88 lower LH corner it shows a 1.5 ton 4X2 cargo (Ford E018T) assembled in England with British GS body with a similar looking 15cwt version built as well. It also says many militarised Ford 4X2 vehicles saw service in North Africa. Having a Timber body (cab and rear) is probably why it is non existant now due to being used for firewood over the years.
