You are correct in that it is in occupied Japan, hence the right hand drive.

I wondered if the truck on the left was a DAF/Chevrolet(?) with TRADO bogie in the Netherlands East Indies, where they also drive on the left. Checked www.awm.gov.au and looked up the ID number P00082.011. According to the summary this picture was taken in "MANILA, THE PHILIPPINES, 1945. FAR EASTERN UNIVERSITY AND QUEZON BOULEVARD, SHOWING AMERICAN TRUCKS IN THE STREET."
