That looks like an early Matador going by the cab roof and front mudguards.

Good day gentlemen,
Many, many years ago the late Ken Hughes at Kingaroy in Queensland had 2 or 3 Matadors in his yard, does any one know where they went? One at least was painted orange, with olive drab coming through on the wear surfaces, and if memory is correct it was on International Mk3 etc.wheels. I didn't ask Ken why as I had no interest in them, I assumed he had either sold the original wheels or bought the trucks without wheels. I do know that the trucks were huge and you would have to be very rich and dedicated if you were going to restore one of Ken's trucks. I would like to think that they are in a collection some where and didn't end up as scrap.

Monegeeta pic
Nice pic from Anzac Steel website, caption reads "An AEC Matador at the Mechanisation Experimental Establishment. This vehicle, still carrying Middle East camouflage and signs is being trialled."
Difficult to make out the tac sign but appears to be early type (single plate, div sign above unit sign). Note vehicle name on roof, appears to be "FEL..... (Felix...? Felicity...?) Mike's pics appear to have been taken at MEE too (Monegeeta proving ground). That row of pine trees next to the road seems to feature in many vehicle pics.
