Hi Andrew,
Do you think the C15 in your post #364 above, was an ex RAAF truck given the colour of the old faded blue? Or Army that has been civil painted? The inscription on the steering wheel may have two owners (on a long shot out of 13 K Sharpe's). Keith Sharpe RAAF Leading Aircraftman 69861 84 Operational Base Unit or Keith Sharpe Australian Army N296370 17 Australian Works Company |

Could not say for sure
The paint what i could see was pretty much all over in the blue so could very well be ex RAAF Looks like it served after the war Towing at Mount Victoria
