Here is the jacket.
PS: just researched 2/3 Field Regiment and it did indeed go to UK to "defend against invasion" in 1940. With the invasion threat over they were sent to the Middle East just in time for the Greek Campaign. They were the first Australian unit to get 25 pounders. Looks like they arrived in UK with little equipment and the British equipped them with vehicles and old WW1 field guns. Probably where the British uniform came from. What is the badge on his sleeve?

I still go for BD. The later hidden-button BD appear a bit thicker but those button-showing pattern jackets were pretty thin and the jacket looks the same material as the trousers which seem almost certainly British pattern BD. Lang Last edited by Lang; 02-08-14 at 00:43.

The photo of the Morris could have been taken at Tidworth in Wiltshire, see this AWM photo as there is a similar Morris in the background, same unit too.

I have a tyre care manual somewhere from early war period that has that pattern tread. It would certainly have been a lot better in the mud than the non-directionals and definately a lot safer on wet sealed roads. A bit wasted as a tyre on a trailed unit. Lang

That tyre looks like a Firestone Ground Grip, one of the WD supplied tyres at the time.
