Hi Geo,
I don't know specifically what work the Standard company was
involved in during WW1, but it was fairly normal form for industry to be
diverted towards helping the war effort. That certainly looks like an older
version of the familiar badging. During WW2 the Standard Motor Company
produced DeHavilland Mosquito and Airspeed Oxford aircraft, and an airfield
defence armoured car called (I think) a Beaverette,
Cheers,
Bill.
