That truck is a Canadian Model AAC. It has the normal plain/ smooth faced Canadian bumper clamps. Model A's in NZ are also Canadian but RHD. This one is LHD & is fitted with Canadian cab; Ford Canada I believe did not issue the US Model T style cab. Here in NZ most of the big trucks had locally made cabs , usually wooden, lightly made styles. But a few US cabs did come here, one is 4 sale in Auckland at the moment, a '28 AA with wire wheels & early brake system [ there are no Model AR's !]
The photo of the Canadian 'Pepsi truck' a few days ago has this same cab. as above.
