Personally I don't think this one is Datsun based.
(Not interfering with fromwien's ID but are you convinced and can link to a Datsun with similar wheelbase and/or rim style?)

It is not based on a Datsun. It is a Datsun :)

If so, they've used the wheels from a Suzuki.

Fromwien is right, this is a Datsun Sing Siam from 1973-1974 - and I can't show you a similar one:
Because I thought this was part of the Nissan 1200AX program a sort of Asian Utility Vehicle (much like the Ford Fiera, GM BTV etc.) but the 1200AX was introduced in 1977!
So this is the predecessor of the 1200AX and it seems this was built in Thailand only.

Ah, that explains the rims, being an export/special market version. Thank you for the additional pics.
