The Dodge would have been issued to the US Army and then given to the RAAF while the war was still on under Lend Lease terms or simply as an outright gift. I have seen Stuart Tanks with USA and Australian markings as well and the Shermans that came out for trials also carried two sets of markings. The RAAF seems to be the ones who had a larger number of these 3/4 ton WC series Dodges then the Army or Navy.
