That photo of the # 12 Cab...C60L??? [please correct!] has WD Census Number [L] 4624486. That is a British series Mid-East allocation number, and yet the truck is clearly marked 'AIF' and is in Aussie service. I wonder if it was one of the batch to S/M 2019. It is another example of the British issues to Commonwealth forces in the Mid-East that were then taken over and paid for in due course.

Well spotted, David.
On having another look at the pic I notice it has been fitted with a Ford front axle too. Possibly it returned with our troops as did a lot of interesting equipment.
Many of the C60L cab 12s I've seen here are in desert colour, whilst none of the Fords are.
An example is this C60L belonging to Max Hedges:
