Can anyone of the brains trust help identifying this gem, please?

WAG Dodge Brothers? Oakland?

Badge looks a little "Studebakerish" , but more research required.

Jarrod.

The scripted badge on the radiator is tricky to decipher.

I wish I had a Braille screen.

I'm going for late 20's Studebaker.

I think it is European, not American.
My vote is Delage. Mid 1920's by my guess.
The two men look like miners or very dirty mechanics.

Here is a Studebaker script. Looks different to me. The number plates on the mystery vehicle look European not American. The radiator and badge look similar though. This photo is of a late veteran not the truck in question which looks late 20's.

The Chrome script on the radiator was almost always an aftermarket bit of bling sold as an add-on by the dealer so although it was available for nearly every make (even Model T Ford) they are seldom seen so-equipped in period photos. Restorers love to dress their cars up with radiator script.

So applying Lang's snippet of the nameplate being an extra, it's unlikely that unnecessary money would be spent on a work vehicle. The plot thickens.
There does seem to be more than a passing resemblance to late twenties Studebaker sedans, though.

Ian what is the photo source?
