First one is a Morris Comical and the second one, either a Leyland Comet or perhaps Thames and as it's carrying Fords, more likely a Thames.

Thornycroft made some special looking trucks as pretty as the lower one

Morris Commercial and Leyland Comet.

And the one parked behind the Comet?

More specifically Morris LC5 (unlikely to be the rare LC4, the NV series looked very similar so stand to be corrected), Leyland Comet (sits higher than a Ford and there is a 'comet 90' badge on the side of the bonnet), Bedford hiding behind. Thought the following transporter; might be a series 3 Morris/BMC but mudguards and front clip is wrong for that choice.

Twice this morning I have typed a detailed reply to this and just as I have finished it has disappeared. This is my third and last try. Each one has been different as more information has been posted.
Mammoth, I agree it is highly unlikely to be the super-rare LC4 which was an interim model with the LC3 engine in what was to be the LC5 truck. It is much more likely to be an LC5 (LC for Light Commercial?) from 1953 to about 1956. It had the Austin A70 motor and a carrying capacity of 25 or 30 hundredweight (one and a quarter to one and a half ton) depending on which book you read. In July 1952 the British Government forced Austin, Morris and a few smaller makers to amalgamate into British Motor Corporation (BMC) and they badge engineered models of cars and trucks mostly with the more modern Austin engines. The NVS three and Five tonners had the same sheetmetal as the LC5 but the wheelcaps on the Yalumba one identify it as an LC

The following car carrier is not a Series 3 Morris/BMC as the shape of the sheetmetal is all wrong as is the position of the headlights. I think it is an earlier Leyland.

Somewhere on this thread I saw a guess of Bedford for one of the trucks but I will stick with Leyland for the car carrier and I thing the truck at the curb is a General Motors product, Chev GMC or Mapleleaf.

Morris.

I would say the old girl has just taken off from the lights from the cloud of smoke.

The car carrier behind could be Leyland or perhaps even GUY. The car being rapidly overtaken by the Comet, (LOL), is a Pontiac and the one at the kerb is possibly an Oldsmobile.
