Hello,
I think the pictures shows a Lynx Scout car.
Take a look at this :

I agree with Heinrich. According to James W. Loop, the ARVN didn't use Daimler Dingos, but it was equipped with ex-Malaysian Ford Lynx scout cars. You can see his letter to the editor of Armored Cars mentioning that here (on page 7) :
