Looks like the type of dodge truck that was made in England.

Before the war, most of the trucks produced by Kew were built for the home market, but after the war, the emphasis shifted to export, with three quarters of the first year's output shipped to Australia and New Zealand.
Sold under the "Kew" or "Kew Dodge"
name, these Dodge trucks were available in the Netherlands, Peru, the Philippines, South Africa, Turkey, and,
of course, the United Kingdom. 
Kew Dodges were successfully sold through Premier Automobiles in
India.

I believe the "DeSoto" brand name was still used on these trucks, primarily in the Middle East.

Up to at least 1976/77 the Desoto brand name was still on the step plate of Dodge pickups.

The information I posted was a cut &paste from allpar, the MoPar site.  I had a Dinky toys British Dodge truck which gave me the early information about these trucks from Great Britain.  On the bottom of the toy it said Dodge truck but the toy had no resemblance to a US Dodge.

Is this the full VIN #? 

Were you able to get the engine #?

As Tom mentioned, photos of the tag and side view (also tailgate) might help.

Your model is the early 1950s Dodge Kew with what is commonly called the 'parrot nose' cab. It was built by Briggs and was also used by the Fordson Thames and Leyland Comet.  Some export versions were badged Fargo. Dodge 100 "Kew" - Wikipedia

The "parrot nose" Leyland Comet was sold in Canada from 1950 to about 1954 along with the Austin Loadstar.
