Hi Bob,
That Austin sounds like a K9 1 ton truck, they had that size tyres. Built around 1952 on, they used the civilian Loadstar cab with minor alterations such as roof hatch and a flare around the front wings to clear the larger tyres. The late Bob Dimer from WA had one and drove it on the Trackers run up to Alice in 2000.
