As this appears to be a coach built effort, and I'm not sure about the wheels, the best I can offer without a front view is possibly a Guy Vixen.

Yes I am fairly sure its a Guy Vixen , identical to Matchbox model.

Seen before, and discussed but still unidentified, in "The '50s and '60s in Living Colour"

...and a slightly better quality.

In the thumbnail the fuel filler can be seen on the driver's side I think. Which could indicate its on a coach chassis? The fuel tank on the offside leaves the nearside free for extra underfloor storage compartments.

If you take a look at this, there is a Vixen 4 ton chassis with the tank on the off side. Guy Motors made their products very much to order, and the customer could specify details such as this at the time.
