RHD. Looks like you have to climb in. Anyone know what those things are behind the headlights?

Most likely oil/kerosene lamps mounted behind the headlights.

I also suspect since it's a delivery vehicle the driver would enter the cab through a doorway on the passenger side.

W H Wigley bakery van, a Ford van shaped like a loaf of bread, Shaftesbury Bakery and Normanton Road, Birmingham. circa 1920s
 
McGarrett is correct. Those are oil lamps that were mounted on the side of a Model T before electric lights were available, around 1915. Although this is a later Model T, so they were adopted from an earlier car.
 
I know this is the A forum but I hope you don't mind. I only visit the a forum anf this looked like a picture anybody would like to see
 
This is what it may have started out as - Model TT trucks never changed much visually from 1917 right thru the 20's. The cowl lamps mounted on the front are not Ford I don't think. The other dark thing on the fender appears to be a mirror to me.

They could be anything. This is a cobbled together vehicle for promotion, after all. Advertisers care little about facts so anything goes. Could even be fake buns.
