Default Pre-war id? PDF file

Can anyone please confirm for me if the van with the utility cab is a Commer? It carries a 1937 rego. The photo dates to spring 1940, and the train featured was presumably carrying military stores. The van was also probably on Government business. Sorry about the vertical view!

The link on your first post comes up full screen. It is a Commer for sure.

Thanks..it appears to have had a Utility cab added and body, similar to the Chevs that were ex-Antwerp and French diversions.
