 Can't match this livery to any other truck in the film, but it's a 2* role.

 I don't believe I have seen that cab before with the fixed glass (framed upright) in the door... for future reference if it should be seen again.

 Is pre-war Vulcan a runner??

 The nearest I can find so far is a Thornycroft ex-military truck but its still not close in all the details.

It looks a far bigger cab than the Vulcan and its slightly longer at the back, like the Scammell.

 Albion looks the most likely I think.

Cab style is the nearest with the same flush door handle, door details and upper windscreen used; possibly slightly later and a larger cab than an Albion 55?

 "Mine" has rounded corners in the quarter-window, but the rest looks good. Watched the sequence again - it has a few lorries from lots of angles, but none match.

 Agreed about the front quarter glass shape, I have found it varies a bit on similar Albion cabs (without finding an exact match).

The unusual door handle seems particularly rare even for an Albion, most having the normal lever type.

The side light mount is also different but the type on 'your' cab does appear on some Albions.

I also have watched this section on vimeo and it does not look to be seen elsewhere (the Headboard looks to say 'Rapid' something for a company name?).

I suspect it is forward control but cannot eliminate the bonneted type - Albion unknown is likely to remain for some time.

 No single Albion has all the features but to eliminate this as 'unknown' as stated before, the most similar is the 1934 Albion 6-7½ Ton Model 55 I guess
