That's good intel. The Diamond T doesn't help date the photo, because they were mostly unchanged between 1938 and 1949. In that time, they only built 7,000 201s. Diamond T built something like 50,000 prime movers during wartime.

There is also a Ford Woody in those photos, that looks like a '49 to me. The archives date it 1939. Their assumption does not take into account the vintage of the car, but the fact that Jenkins did run for and was elected mayor of Salt Lake City in the late 30s. Apparently, he was still campaigning for the party a decade later. Wilkinson, the Diamond T dealer was also invited to meet with president Eisenhower. This was noted in a period newspaper article I found. I can find very little esle on the Diamond T dealership.
