Someone will now have to decide how to date the thing, my suggestion would be that it is a Thames, because of the small headlamps, which look the same as those on a 103E Popular, introduced in 1953, but it may not be right.

Did any E494C have large headlights?? I can't see obvious examples in our Thames or Fordsons. Doesn't look like chrome on grille, so my hunch is to go early and agree Thames (which should be good for English-speaking Singapore). What's that thing low down behind the door??

The exhaust outlet from the 8.3 litre V-16 engine.

I have looked this up and the small headlights were fitted from April 1945. Export versions of these vans for lhd countries had the spare wheel fitted on the right hand (looking forwards) door, and could have the 10 hp engine fitted.
This van cannot, therefore, accurately be described as “made for” if Singapore drove on the right at the time. Alternatively, it might just be the bog standard Dagenham dustbin, although a front bumper is fitted.

Let's say 1946+ to arrive safely in exotic climes after war ended.

Errr…

Sorry, that should read 933cc In-line 4.

btw - Fordson in 1946 I think.
