As one expects a more or less exotic derivative here instead of the well-known originals, I ruled also the Morris Oxford Traveller out, :) and looked around among BMC’s overseas relatives. I knew of Siam Di Tella; however, as I just have learned, this wagon was also built as Morris Traveller in Argentina. As it turned out, the car displayed above happens to be one.

Yes, it's a Morris 1500 Traveller from Argentina.  For those that know their BMC (and BMC derived) B-series Farinas, the give away was the cut back rear tail-fins which, as far as I'm aware, were only otherwise used on the MG Magnette, Riley 4/68 and 4/72 and Austin Freeway saloons.  The Morris 1500 Traveller is also interesting in that (except for the overriders) the front of the car is almost identical to the Freeway.
