It is a DAF. I found several names for this model, 'DD', 'T1800', '1600': http://lkw-infos.eu/daf-oldtimer.htm
Built 1951-65.

If it's really a 1951, styling and full windscreen seem several years ahead of what everyone else was doing. There seems to have been a facelift about 1958 - is that a better fit??

If you compare Morris-Commercial CV, FE and FF cabs it makes your point for you, esp. curved glass.

Maybe not a topic to explore in depth here, but I get the impression that windscreen glass technology held back car styling and maybe trucks as well until mid-50s in Europe - they could only easily do small flat panes, so split window was common. Then suddenly they discovered how to do bigger panes and start curving. So Morris Minor went fullscreen in 57 for instance, and there was a rush to incorporate wraprounds (eg Minx Audax, Vauxhalls) about the same time.

Technology improvements would lead to cost reductions of such items as curved glass. In the case of the Morris Minor, there was no major change to the sheet steel, suggesting that the intention of using curved glass was always there, just awaiting affordability. One does wonder about the F model Victor, and the retrenchment to flatter panels on FB & FC.
