Many service vehicles and trucks were converted to run on coal gas during the war. My dad,as a youngster, actually helped out on a coal lorry that had been converted. There's even an episode of Dad's Army where his butcher's van is converted to gas.
However, that picture looks a lot earlier than World War 2. It looks like it could be World War 1 - or even earlier.

Very interesting thankyou. Another interesting fact about WW2 that i didn't know.
Like the execution vans a few weeks back.
I am fairly sure there is an episode of Dad's Army where Jones' van is thus converted just before an exercise involving bayoneting van roofs. If there wasn't their should have been.Like the execution vans a few weeks back.
