More on it's Military group. Thanks.
Hi again Peter. It's tantalising when you find one with a close ARN. The WW2 pic was taken at Monegeeta near Melbourne.

You will be able to look it up at the Australian War Memorial in the AWM 126 series of ledgers but this will be unlikely to tell you more than the very basic details of original body type, tyre size and perhaps when and to whom it was disposed of. They don't have any details of it's actual unit use.
