Brass era British Fords were some of the most incredible looking Fords ever! And yes, some of them were left hand driven.
I do not know for certain that this is a British T? But it looks very much like a few other photos I have seen of some.

Anyone guess where this photo was taken? The front tyres are the main clue.

The Cyrillic alphabet would suggest Russia.

The brand of front tyres is the clue.

France is my guess.

Tree-lined Road… trees cut in typical French manner

The Cyrillic characters stand for FOTOARCHIV from a Russian web site Private archive of military-historical photography' project turns 10 years old. On March 6, 2010 so may not have been updated
The photos are organized into 4 categories: Russian Empire; USSR; Germany; and Other Countries. Most categories have sections divided into sections for People, weapons & other. If your into aircraft they have lots of old wounded planes. They have text explaining he photos

Russian to English
ФОТОАРХИВ = FOTOARCHIV
МОДЕЛЬ Т = MODEL T

The photo is somewhere on this site the link translates the Russian to English lots of WWI & some WWII photos
