Covered before:

Yes, via here: IWM Collections | Imperial War Museums Search by keyword or the photo number if you know it. Only a fraction of the photograph collection has been scanned. But the official WW1 series is there (the 'Q' series).
-
Probably not. The thing is it is not an obvious standard type and so not easy to recognize from what's shown. Do you have any other views? Any idea as to the country this was taken in?
-
Do these help?

The above photo is from the IWM official collection - ref B11345
Other photos include B11346, B13433, B15625, BU3907 and BU5109.

Perhaps Andy is being coy? Much as the speculation is fun, I suggest anyone with the resources and motivation to help has a private message exchange to see if they can get beyond foxes and chickens.

Try Paul Meekins or Falconwood Transport Bookshop.

And a superb one for sale at auction on 14 April (if you have deep pockets): Auction Details | H&H Classics (handh.co.uk)

I wonder how the owner is getting on with this. They could be in need of a parts list: DAAG Ratingen Düsseldorf 3 Tonnen Kardan-Einheitswagen Ersatzteilliste 1920 | eBay

Hi Colin - you've probably found this string showing what is believed to be another Belsize chassis (and model): Unidentified chassis, possibly WW1. - Pre WW2 vehicles - HMVF - Historic Military Vehicles Forum

...and there's a big sign on the back saying its a K3 🙂

Have a chat with the Norfolk MVT group - one of their members has a Humber 8cwt they rebuilt from a post war woodie conversion a bit like yours: https://www.nmvg.org/about
Nice project!! And with a PTO an FFW version as well.

Steve.....you could buy the Pierce, and use it as a tow truck to get the Peerless back home in style..........functional and convenient! 🤔
Or maybe...

Parts lists do occasionally turn up (at a price). But if you're searching bear in mind that 'RAF type' is a nickname. Officially they are: Leyland W.O. Subsidy Model, Class A, Type 5000.

Almost certainly a post war body. Does it have a front brush guard across the radiator? If so, it's probably an 8cwt that's been converted.
Edit: Just re-read the earlier post saying that does have the brush guard, so it would be a 8cwt conversion.

Yes and no. They were built to certain specs that had been established under the pre-war War Office subsidy scheme (such as controls and wheel sizes) but otherwise could do their own thing (for example some used chain drive, others live axles; they used their own engines or propriety engines; etc.). They weren't built to a universal design like the Liberty.
