That is a Bedford S-type truck cowl.
The S-type was a 7-tonner IIRC, and, as such was known as the Big Bedford (previous models were 5-tonners).
The S-type was superceded in 1959 by the TK.
The S-type cab design persisted with the R-type 3-ton 4x4 which became the standard Army truck (including the Green Goddess) from the 1950s until 1969.
