The truck is one of the Holden modified Aussie Airbourne GMC's as well. Good find as I missed this photo during my search for photos of the Aussie Airbourne GMC.
I would say the crane set up is a field modified job probably when the cranes regular mover either packed a sad or was destroyed before the war finished. It could even be a piece of Japanese equipment modified for use.
