Thank you for the lead, Dave. The body shapes and paint markings are identical to the PAL. Mine is a bit smaller size (7" rear wheels and 11" front wheel). This belonged to my wife who rode it when she was 4 which would have been around 1952. Her family were big fans of Montgomery Ward which may explain the name plate although I could not find a Wards logo that even closely resembles what looks like MW on the name plate. Any chance that Wards or whatever brand could have used a Troxel seat because she thought it was all original? But then, she was only 4!
It's always a possibility Troxel rubber topped seats were used on some models of PAL trikes sold through Wards. To be honest, this is the first PAL trike I've ever seen badged for a store brand, so it could be quite possible. Plus, since this is your wife's childhood tricycle I'm sure she would remember what it looked like when brand new. Those style Troxel seats were used on many tricycle models in the 1950s. I received a Garton tricycle back in 1953 having the same style seat.
