The tie rails would suggest it is in Australia.
OilyMy thinking there Oily, That and the n/s high mounted searchlight,(too big to call a spot light)
would certainly suggest somewhere far from UK shores!!In fact, I immediately thought of Autralia. Perhaps loaded with sacks of grain (wheat?) from a thresing machine? A good load for a 100 bhp engine!
Is that the driver sat by the n/s front wheel taking respite from the heat.

Second life for this FB89 in Portugal. You could notice the lower grille is not the same as the F 86 one.

Remains of a BMC LD van,
Covered a few miles in one of these around Birmingham,
Typical BMC, a gear change that threatened to pull your left
arm out of its socket and a diesel that fair rattled your teeth,

Long wheelbase to haul hay FB 86.
The Portuguese use those for cork transport as well.
They used to put the load on wider and longer as it rises. Must have been easily over width at the top of the load.

Brings back a memory for me. Around 1960, before I had a licence, I worked as a trainee salesman for Weddell meats in Bedford and an LD was the delivery vehicle. I lodged with the driver, Ernie Wiseman, and his wife so got to ride ‘home’ and back in it every night. At the weekends I would hitch hike home to Nottingham and so knew every inch of that road, Higham Ferrers, Kettering and Leicester, like the back of my hand and, when I had a free moment at work, used to sit behind the wheel of that LD and ‘drive’ myself all the way home. 
Little did I know that it wouldn’t be all that long before I would be driving all those AECs, Atkis and Leylands myself, but much further afield.
