OK, but without the abiility to use what information has been ascertained so far to trace the picture on the 'Net, and the fact that information about commercial vehicle coachbuilders from this period is very thin on the ground, it's going to be purely a hit and miss affair guessing the right answer.
So, my last try (as I can't find any more appropriate coachbuilders) is Grose Ltd.

Did the coachbuilder still exist after WW2?

I think the borough is now considered to be in South London, but it was part of Southwest London at the time.

Perhaps the coachbuilder was Allan Taylor Engineering and Manufacturing of Wandsworth?
They coachbuilt many Ford vehicles and I've found the picture below of a very similar dustcart by them, descsribed as an "A.T.-Ford refuse collector"; it's not quite the same but it is awfully similar!:
