Bedford QL probably

Definitely a Bedford QL. Although on the German side I would guess this isn't unrealistic? the film is set before the D Day landings and I daresay a few items of British hardware were captured afterwards and put to work. It certainly happened in desert warfare, but not sure about Europe, anyone know any more?

Bedford QL fitted with non-radio type house body..possibly originally ex laboratory or mobile clinic type.

Yes, FattMatt, many British trucks fell into German hands at Dunkirk (though I'm not sure about QLs). Being right-hand drive they proved almost as lethal as Allied action. (I know it's fiction but see Len Deighton's 'Bomber'.)

The QLs were not yet around in 1940. Production ran from 1941-45.

From the increased rear overhang, it has the extended body 21ft 10in, of the QLT troop carrier compared with the 19ft 8in length body (for QLD 3-ton GS etc) including the QLR Radio body.

Bedford QL with special purpose body...

also increased body length as here...

Found as a Bedford QLT with TEV Body (Terminal Equipment Vehicle).

16 foot body on Bedford QLT chassis.
A modified QLT troop carrier chassis was used to accommodate the longer body. The body was divided into two compartments. The front compartment carried switchboards for telephone lines while the rear compartment contained teleprinter equipment. source: ww2talk website
