On the evidence of the short wheelbase, and the location of the petrol filler, it’s a Morris-Commercial PV.

Can’t help on the coachwork, though.

The fuel filler is too far forward for the PV I believe. I cannot detect the wheelbase as the front also has another car's bumper in in the way.

I think it's just possibly MYR 961 again.

Found I believe 'XYG 286'.

It appears to be this actual 1952 Bedford as being sold on eBay, (the registration 'MYR 961' is a floater seen on Lomas and Spurling ambulances).

I'm having to reassess if it at actually is a K-type chassis because it's rather unusual in being advertised as a MLZ on eBay (which I discounted because of the simpler disc K-type wheels).

Bedford ambulances were commonly on the KZ chassis however 'XYG 286' does look to have a considerably longer M-type chassis, therefore I tend to agree with the eBay description.

Now found that according to A Pictorial Review of Lomas Ambulances chassis type Bedford KZ ML2 was used on some (or many?) 1950s ambulances so a K-type on an M-type length chassis.
