I happen to have a similar "fake", which I got when a boy in the late 50's. It came with
a trailer and a gun, that could actually fire. I remember scaring my mother firing burning matches
with it through the living room!
Now what's left is the reasonably intact Bedford and a damaged trailer and gun.

Now I've made a couple of comparing pictures of this "fake" and the real Dinky Toy 621-G
Bedford 3t Army Truck (1954)

obvious differences: The colors and the finer lining, as well as the already mentioned grill shape.

The rear windows!

The left side shows bad workmanship on the moulding of the "fake" and the underside of the
door on the Dinky.

The right side shows again better details and rounding off on the Dinky Toy

Last but not least the bottoms compared:
Clear differences:
"Fake" has 1. bad moulding, 2. smaller ribs, 3. painted cabin bottom,
Dinky Toy has 4. designed rib underneath and of course the spare wheel
Have a happy day
