497 BXK was London, Feb 61 to Jan 62 "allocated in blocks", so likely original plate, not ex MoD sell off and re-reg.

Yes civvy truck, these were very popular trucks in 50s .
Superceded by the even more popular TK.

1957-60 S-type facelift (7-ton) or 1957-60 C-type (4,5 and 6-ton) truck superseded by the TK in September 1960.

It has the upper section mesh grille added in 1957 but I think the bright surround for the main grille area is missing which would be strange. If the front wheel were visible the 1957 step-ring should be visible.

On the face of it a late S or C type either registered late or was there possibly some limited production alongside the TK for a large contract?

Unless more information is found, default to 1957-1960 S-Type with 1961 registration.
