What is the vehicle towing this Sopwith Dolphin?

I am fairly certain that the towing vehicle is a Tamplin Cyclecar. The most obvious points of similarity are the straight planks instead of mudguards, the tall spindly wheels and the single belt drive pulley which can be seen mounted to the inside of the left rear wheel. Also, the underside of the body appears to taper upwards.

 

Although it would be stretching the point too far to describe the Tamplin as a Military Vehicle, there is an intriguing connection: the original Tamplin was designed, as the Carden Cyclecar, by Sir John Carden himself!
