If it has a 59 cast into the bell-housing, it is a model 59 from 1945-1948. It could be a 39 or up as well. It is a 24 stud.

If I had to guess I put it at 39-41 from a truck.

Based on fan mounted to generator, particular style distributor and the amount of heavy dirt.............. just a guess - reality subject to vary greatly.

I had one of those flatheads, looked just like that, had that distributor as well, it was out of a '40. It is pre-'42 though, '42 had the now famous crab distributor.
