The action takes place on a foggy day, so brightness adjusted for the thumb.

 It looks like it, and therefore I think a new-ish vehicle make.

BMB tractors Southport were also Brockhouse manufacturers of the Corgi /vehicles_make-Brockhouse_model-Corgi.html

 short lived

first year was 1947

Quote The President model were built from 1947 to 1956 when falling sales led to the cessation of product. The Stock of spares being transfered to H.J. Stockton & Co. Ltd, who redesigned the machines to take either a Ruston & Hornsby or Petter engine. These were sold as "Stokold tractors" from 1956 to 1960

 We now have BMA, BMB and BMC as makes. President start date unclear - some sources say there are 1948-49 examples still around, others give 1950. My tractor book says BMB postwar stuff was small pedestrian-pushed 2-wheelers with names like Hoe-Mate, Cult-Mate and Plow-Mate until President launched at 1950 Royal Show, at £239 with a Morris 8 engine. Very successful for BMB as a small firm and the only rival in early 50s for Fergie TE-20, and widely exported, selling well in Ceylon and Greece; vineyard and orchard versions added in 1954, but sales began to drop as UK small tractor market became over-saturated.
