ID this 1950s vehicle?

This is my uncle Joe. He was born in 1930 and looks about 20 years old here so maybe 1950/51?

The Arabic number plate and military registration puts it somewhere in the Middle East?

It’s not a Morris that’s for sure.

Looks like it may be a Standard Vanguard. I owned one for a few years, my dad gave it me. Does it have a crank handle slot in the front bumper?

SteveD CB500K0:
Could be right Ken.

The grille matches a 1951 Vanguard, as does the bumper and the little indicator/parking lights beneath the headlamps.

Whatever it is, it's a great picture Steve and thanks for sharing.

Oddjob:
Looks the same. 3 speed column change, bench seat which seats 4 at the front and those little indicator stalks that stuck out of the door column. Mine was gloss black and coach painted, you could hit the front wing with a hammer and not even chip the paint. Weighed over 2 tons though.
