The photo seems markedly tilted. The background a puzzle;not beehives, kangaroos, koalas or rabbits or Witchetys tribe encampment. Maybe stumps from a bush fire; perhaps called the Palace.
Dunno about the UK but tread pattern was not a legal requirement here prior about 1963. (Although it was illegal, saw the occasional car with circles of canves showing as often depicted in comic books). Spoilt by steel radials, we tend to forget how short lived crossply tyrese were, and natural rubber ones esp so. Into the 70s, 20,000 sedately driven common for conventional cars. In the 1920s much less.
