c.1918-19 Touring car with unusual radiator grill. What's it?

This is my great grandparents, my dad as a little tyke & a gaggle of cousins in Tucson about 1918-1919? Further review of my photo looks like my dad is about three, which would date the photo about 1918-19.

The radiator shell should be a dead giveaway, but after hours of I'net search I cannot find a car with a similar radiator shell. Somebody must know what it is!

I couldn't find any White autos in this time period with a "round" grill shell.

Another possibility is a late teens REO, it looks like the radiator shell could have that convex curved top but it’s not a very clear picture…
