Judging by the Vehicle I would say definitely 1940's

Dear Norma,
My father Frederick William James Opie was born in South africa 1912 Johannesburg to Frederick and Nellie Opie Nee Holman, Frederick Opie sinior was also born in South Africa 1894 +- to James born 1847 Cornwall and Eliza Phillips 1850 also Cornwall, they had one daughter and three boys altogeter and spent a lot of time in South Africa mining, Thomas Henery Opie is witness to my fathers birth here in SA so could have been James Opie's brother, they were all miners or engin drivers which has nothing to do with steam engines, it was the hoist that took the miners to the relevent levels in the mine to work. I hope this info is of healp.
