LOCKED for you!

It is indeed a 1940´s Toyota, but I´ve got another year and type designation.

The puzzle photo´s been scanned from an official Toyota ad, so I think the name given there is the right one...

The Toyota AE (1939) you´ve thrown in, has looked quite similar but there are some clear differences:

Toyota BA, which was shown in 1940 but entered very limited production in 1943.

Thanks. This car amazes me a bit. 1943 was not a good year for Japan. They're beginning to lose the war and the country is slowly being strangled from the lack of raw materials. Yet somehow in the middle of all of it, Toyota manages to produce a new car.
