I have never seen a photo of any British trucks in New Guinea.

Could it be Malaya/Singapore?
The number on the door is "AIF H4476xx" (x = unreadable). The number itself is too high for an original AIF registration, that's a British WD number taken on strength of the AIF. . WD/AIF regos were slowly phased out for the Commonwealth numbering system from early '42, although many vehicles displayed dual numbers to the end of the war.
The Tac sign shows vehicle B4 of unit 58 (on Artillery AoS colours), but the formation sign is tantalisingly unreadable. Might be 8th Div. Did we have 5.5" guns in Malaya?
