Well the driver is Army Service Corps mechanised branch and behind him in the background is an enormous vehicle park.  This photo was probably taken at home in Britain.  I think it’s possibly an American made Liberty Truck.

It is an American built Locomobile (later renamed Riker). it is an early model with the brass radiator. Photographed in the UK as it does not have a WD census number on the bonnet. The C number on the bonnet would suggest that it was possibly issued from Camberwell. About 1,200 were used by the WD.

Thank you GWT, I really struggled to find an image that matched in every respect.  The vertical slits in the bonnet seemed a good ID feature, but other aspects not so much.  The absence of forward mounted headlights ostensibly ruled Riker out at first glance.

Here is the same Locomobile before restoration. Someone converted it in to a house and used to live in it.
