 Hardly, it's a British Ford.

 1936 Fordson V8 [51], although based on a somewhat troublesome previous identification so not 100%.

 ... Model 51 also linked to here 1936 Fordson V8 Ambulance 30 cwt [67] /v598254.html but again although a better match for an ambulance nothing I have to confirm it being a Model 67.

 In the “Ford Popular and the small sidevalves” book by Dave Turner is an identification chart of Ford Vehicles published by W J Reynolds Motors of Dagenham.

The model 51 is described as “30hp (Com) 1936”. The Model 67 is described as “30hp V8 15cwt van 1936”. Neither option has a dropped centre bumper.

 Getting closer therefore, the 1936 Model 67 V8 30hp 15cwt van, normal control, is more suited to an ambulance body probably and was built by a different coachbuilder on the Fordson chassis. By Mid-1936 Fordson was producing it's own purpose built ambulance on a semi-forward control chassis, the 1934 normal control design looking considerably different.

I'm not too concerned about the dropped bumper design, it appears on a few (but not all) examples of US Fords of the same period, so could it have made it to UK builds I don't know.

 From the same source, it seems that the bigger Ford(son) commercials had a choice of engines, all petrol, but they were a 24hp 4 cylinder, (ancestor of the CostCutter?), a 22hp V8, and the 30hp V8. The V8s produced 62bhp and 85bhp respectively, iirc, in the cars to which they were fitted. The model #s vary slightly in accordance with the engine type.

 Gleaned from CM articles, confirming your details but adding little...
V8 2.33 litre 22hp 62 bhp petrol
V8 3.62 litre 30hp 81.5 bhp petrol
Four cylinder 24hp petrol also mentioned as available for when low speed 'slogging' performance is required compared with high revving V8 units, but fewer details.

 Back in Turner’s book again, the Model A Ford had a 4 cylinder 24 RAChp engine of 3285cc, with the option of a 14.9 RAChp engine “of just over 2 litres” for U.K. and European countries.

Can it be presumed that the 3285cc unit found its way into the commercial vehicles?
