Yes that's correct but not quite the end of the 1920s

1927 Lea-Francis K-type, looks like a fabric body, so Gordon England?

L-Type? (They had an unnecessarily complicated model range back then - no wonder they had financial problems!)

A voice from the back row says that the J, K, L and M types shared the same chassis and therefore many of the body styles also. You usually can't guess what you are looking at without more information! Meadows engine size and type varied, only the L and M having the 4ED.
Not many G-E bodies were fitted, so I'd guess this one is chassis 10041
