 Maybe an Ace? or were they only fire engines. This pic doesn't seem to match any Paxes that I found.

 Here is an Ace truck I found - /vehicle_174129-Dennis-Ace.html - and guess who identified it! I am still not certain either way.

 This site is short on detail - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dennis_Specialist_Vehicles - but it does state that the Pax was post WW2 only and I think this one is older.

 Indeed, the footage is supposed to be from during the war... the moving of artwork from the National Gallery to Manod Quarry.

"The road surface under the railway bridge at Ffestiniog, was lowered two and a half feet so that the lorry carrying the vast Van Dyck canvas Charles I on Horseback and Piombo's Raising of Lazarus could edge underneath with inches to spare."

An earlier LMS owned 1935 Dennis.

 At this time, all LMS road vehicles were registered in Hertfordshire, so it's NK, the other choice being Warwickshire. LMS road motor admin was done in Watford.

 1936 Dennis 6-ton tractor 96" wheelbase normal control with Scammell coupling based on shortened 70-cwt truck (108" wheelbase) chassis.

The 'Ace' name at the time was mainly applied to the Ace 20-seat (138" wheelbase) bus chassis introduced in 1933 plus some fire engines and at least one ambulance.

Although Dennis did not actually use the name at the time for the trucks introduced in 1934, later it appears to have been more commonly applied also to the 30-cwt to 70-cwt truck range, both normal and (sometimes) forward control.
