I believe it is a Humber Snipe woodie, also known in the UK as a "Shooting Brake". The British forces used them as "utilities" during WW2 but I think that is an exported civilian model.

Hi Hoss65,
I must say that I do not agree. If you note the windscreen, the bumper, the balloon tyres, the flat radiator grill and the number of wood slats on the door it does appear to be a captured military Humber Snipe Utility. Of note also are the headlights on "stalks". In civilian guise in the UK this type of car was termed a Shooting Brake, I think the term woodie originated in the USA.
Regards,
Kerry.

Hi Bert,
DH6.A53 is a civilian truck, on these both pics there is the long-nosed 1937 model. The tank transporter is of 1939 vintage and its designation is DI6.53C. It wasn't much different indeed (has special more powerful version of Gardner 6LW diesel engine and bigger wheels).
Cheers!
