I would say it was probably built in 1943 as I worked on one with a close chassis number to yours, also I think the cupola in the cab roof was added in 1943 to most British trucks.

Richard, what was the the reasoning behind the cupola? Just a convenient way to look over a hedge without having to open the door and stand on your seat?

Main reason would be an observer looking out for air attack I guess. You will find these were introduced into production vehicles during 1943, along with sling flanges on hubs .... all appearing in readiness for the invasion.
