Strange one , wonder if bonnet is extended out for a bigger engine.

Is it a Showtrac??

Almost certainly not, but they were able to depart from basic designs if necessary, if it was a pre WW2 tractor the bonnet could have been extended to allow room to replace the 4 pot Scammell petrol engine with a five or a six pot Gardner.

That cast radiator looks good, other details less appealing.

On the right track though , almost certainly a pre-war Scammell of which many on showgrounds like this one. Interestingly with a GW.... reg. like the false reg. on Scammell 4x4 in film.

An interesting question pops up, “did the cast radiator, therefore, remain in use after the availability of shaft rather than chain final drive?”
