It looks to me like Model AA Ford, or possibly a GAZ AA which was a Russian-built truck made under licence from Ford.

Here is a photo of a GAZ AA; the wheels, mudguards and bonnet louvres look the same.

The rear spring on the Russian GAZ is what was called a cantilever spring-it is the same as a Ford AA truck. By the way the old bus isn't a Ford.

This shouldn't be that hard-how I can identify what this is are the differences between the front and rear wheels.

Dave pretty much has it-I would say a 1932-33 Chev, but I would imagine it's a regular U.S. or Canadian one rather than a British one-by then General Motors were building Bedfords anyway.
Chevrolet used 10 hole wheels similar to these on their 3-5 ton trucks from the early 1930s until probably at least the 1970s. The front hubs only had 5 studs, so you only used every second hole, once the wheel was on you put a spacer on that covered the holes that weren't used. The rear hubs had 10 studs, the studs were quite small diameter and quite close together.
As far as I know Chevy and Oldsmobile trucks and some models of GMC were the only trucks to have this type of wheels. Maple Leaf trucks used 5 stud Motor Wheel wheels.
Ford, Dodge, and International used Budd type wheels, although most 1930s-1940s Inters were on cast spoke wheels. Reo used Motor Wheel wheels like Maple Leaf and some GMCs did. British medium size trucks generally used either 6 stud or 8 stud wheels.
