Perhaps the number can help?

The vague, or even inaccurate, caption writer of the AWM strikes again! The number plate on this vehicle is actually AIF L-17454. The L is in red and is hard to spot on a b+w pic. This is quite different to Aust Reg No 17454.

72 was the unit serial for 1 Aust Corps Troops Supply Company from Jan 42.
