The Australian brochure calls it the "DeSoto Six": Link to "oldcarbrochures.org" - And I haven't found hard evidence this particular model was sold anywhere else. We have one example labeled as a 1938 Plodge: /vehicle_681137-Dodge-Sedan-D-9-1938.html - Though I'm not convinced that ID is correct. This scene was most likely filmed in Turkey; based on precedent they probably did get these DeSoto-ized Plymouths. Or maybe it's an Australian car imported to the UK and transported to Turkey for filming.
