It looks very suspiciously similar to a Chrysler LAD (Leyland-Albion-Dodge) cab - but I would suggest it's probably a "knock-off" of an LAD, perhaps built in Iran? - Turkey? - Pakistan? - Israel? - or maybe even India?

Notice the KW above has a flat one piece windshield plus no vent windows in the doors---
Pre-1945 built during war years or pre-war 1941.

I really want one of those hall Scott gas engines

Is that because you just happen to own a dozen oil wells??

Me? I'm broke.
No they're just really cool artifacts of the past and actually a really good example where we're headed the future

Southern Transport No 2, hauling water pipes for the Millstream-Dampier-Karratha water supply project, in N.W. Western Australia, 1969. NMP.
I think someone snapped this photo while it's in a glass frame, hence the reflections of the cupboard!
The trailer is probably a 38 foot trailer, pretty much standard size for the day. 45 foot and 48 foot trailers rule today.
Oh, and no tri-axles allowed in 1969, they were deemed illegal, because they supposedly damaged the roads. Once again, different story today, 3 and 4 axles rule.
Note the canvas waterbags in carriers on the front bumper. This is HOT country! - and NO A/C!
And the exhaust running out just in front of the rear wheel. Plus, no mudguards on either truck or trailer.
The exhaust location, and no mudguards, would see you ticketed today!

You like old Gas pigs---here is a gas pig--I know where one is setting also. Climax V8 built
by Climax Motors of Iowa--IIRC. To give a perspective I stand 6' 1", standing next to this
engine my eyes are level with top of rocker covers. The one I know about powered the
rotary part of the snow plow for Snoqualmie Pass, it was on a Oshkosh. This one ran a
lift on a rail bridge.

How about road speed rpms?
