The F15 did belong to the Aust 6th Div ( kangaroo over the boomerang ) not sure what the D2 means .
I bet the soldier carrying out the repairs is cursing these english trucks , not much room to work in there.

- as well as RAF and service troops?

Judging by the captured F15, some of these units employed CMP trucks - I hope to find more information about them.
