They look a bit like a vw bus with a frown. Was this a NE local brand/ dealer network?

Smaller than a VW Van, I don't think a whole lot bigger than an NV-200 van.  I can't see the tiny print below.

The Thames van and the Tempo Matadors are very different vehicles. The Thames is a rear wheel drive Ford van, usually made in the UK, but also ,AUS, & NZ. 
 

the Tempo Matador is a German front wheel drive van. The first Matadors used VW engines, later switching to others such as Austin or a ~650cc two stroke
