There are more photos of this truck on the web ( I googled 'airfield control trucks ww2')
I think it's a Ford CMP truck with the nose from a B-17 on the roof

Good info. Following up on your lead, I found a few other photos I didn't already have. It looks to me like it might actually be a Chevy CMP vice Ford. The Fords look more boxy to me.
