I don't know, it is nowhere mentioned. Surely not with this kind of body. Vans and trucks are usually made of two components, chassis and body; I have no idea whether the underlying chassis has been used for some military purpose.

Wait, that means it is much bigger than you'd expect. Is that really a front grill?

Yes it is. You are looking at the front grille and the right fender, with a man kneeling for cleaning/polishing it

Afaik there was no double-decker.

Big hint: At least the first ones were built on Albion chassis.

Maybe there has been also a bus version, but if I did not find it.

I do not know, but the radiator grille proposes that the engine is at the front, most probably with a conventional propshaft driving the rear axle (as usual at the time).

Hint: Built to carry goods, I know of some to have carried laundry.
