Thank you very much for the reply. I have noted your comment and agree, having "enlarged" the badge, that it is the Hong Kong Defence Force. This is of interest as they were paid for by the Government of the territory and not by the UK. I also note that their deployed vehicles were very limited. There appeared to have been two armoured cars available 1930 to 1933 being built on thorneycroft chassis by a local Hong Kong firm Is this considered to be an armoured vehicle? Any further comments would be gratefully appreciated as the vehicle may hold the clue as to a possible date.
Many thanks to the community for posting comments about the photograph. It now appears that the vehicle has the same registration number as my post called HK2 Army Uniformed Gentleman.

Re: Photo
There is a regimental insignia on the side of the vehicle. Not sure but it looks like a pair of facing dragons (?) below the crown. Hong Kong Volunteer Defence Corps badge as seen: https://www.regimentalbadges.com/en-GB/others/hong-kong-volunteer-defence-corps-cap-badge-circa-1931-46-by-firmin/prod_20369

The vehicle
The vehicle appears to be a Morris-Commercial T-type or R-type truck manufactured between the mid-1920s and early 1930s with a modified bodywork.
