Have another look at the Humber utility ambulance picture, it looks more Austinish in that one, but still not cut and dried imo.

The cab side window (curved lower edge) looks good for Austin K2 but the swage line under the side glass is definitely straight as the K2 not curved as the Morris-Commercial, therefore the Austin has it.
