The acronym VLLADS is, I think, unique to Australia (like SRAAW for the M72 LAWS rocket and and MRAAW for the Carl Gustav)
The image on the weblink you gave shows the missile pod sitting on top of the launcher cradle/aiming device/tripod. It's the tubular 'bit' at the top. Note the thicker ring around the end, and its the same at the other end, just like in the drawing of your 'loaded Bilby'. The missile pod is removable/replaceable on the launcher. Each time you fire it, you take off the empty tube, and clip on a new one.
I'd say with little doubt that that's what the drawing on your trailer is supposed to represent. Yep, a well armed little sucker: ask any RAAFie silly enough to fly 'nap of the earth' within range!
Regards
Mike C
