The aerodynamics are pretty advanced for what looks like a 1940s design. Firstly, the front is carefully raked back for a better airflow over the cab and more interestingly, there's that little upwards flare at the back of the cab roof, to help lift airflow as far over the load area as possible. Clearly, the designer knew what he was doing. However, I have no idea from which manufacturer the proposal originates. $:-\$
