I've been trying to identify the vehicle in the photo without success. Anyone know?

From what's been said, I would guess something along the lines of a Crossley-Kegresse half track. The Kegresse track might have led to the slightly strange 16 MPH maximum sign as having been translated roughly from 25 kph.

But was it really twin front axle? I can't find reference to any such conformation. Or are the second wheels in the photo actually spare wheels mounted slightly higher, on rotating hubs which were often fitted as aids to trench crossing?

Suggestions or please publish the photo which shows the whole vehicle!
