I'd say it is Morris-based and although I can't match the details I think it may be Ashley Cleave's Morris special in an early (pre-war) version.

It is Morris-based, yes, but nothing to do with Ashley Cleave..

I see that seems to be what the owner said it was, but the Morris Series E had pressed steel wheels which I think would have been a better bet on the southern African roads of the 1940s/50s. Radiator looks odd too.

Yes, you'd think the owner would know what he has but that doesn't always seem to be the case...
