Smile AEC Matador gun tractor

Just wondering if Australia had any of these on it's books during WW2 here in Australia?

I found one AWM photo showing one unloading a mobile Radar Trailer at Trinity Beach in Queensland and am sure I have seen the odd photo of them towing 3.5in AA guns here as well.

Can anyone confirm this for me plus what units would have had them?

I am just starting to build the AFV Club Matador and would like to mark it as an Aussie vehicle if possible, especially towing the 3.5in AA gun as I can get a resin kit of it for it to tow in future as well.
