If you look at all the photos of Australian soldiers in New Guinea (and a lot in the Middle East also) you will see the army was only well off enough to issue one shirt for every three soldiers. Obviously these were for work purposes so it would appear the fellow in the bottom RH corner is in full dress uniform.
Perhaps it was a full combat uniform designed for operations against the Japanese who, upon seeing the equipment carried by these Bronzed Anzacs coming towards them would make them feel so inadequate they would die of shame.
