Dave, I searched British scout cars WW2 and found one that resembles the one you pointed out. https://www.google.com/search?q=british+scout+cars+ww2&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-us&client=safari#imgrc=S2a2LLUebg8nWM A new one on me.

I'm thinking the Humber Scout Car Mk II looks the most like this. Here's a great video of it on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhg1bSkA7d8 Check out 0:11 and the image angle is very close to this WWII photo... almost identical.

Thanks guys. The rib-looking sides reminded me of an Austin Champ, which confused me, though it's obviously no Austin. Maybe someone added armor to the sides?
