"Korea I'd guess. The 2 Chaffey tanks would be the give-away as although the Yanks had them in 1944 in Europe I don't think that there were any in the Islands with the Aussies."
I'm pretty sure the tank in the far background is an M4A3E8 ('Easy 8'). I'm betting this a Korea image for all sorts of reasons.
Some (more) detail on the Chaffee: M24 Chaffee tanks (2 of) arrived in Australia in April 1945, and were trialled on Bougainville during June 45. The Pacific War was still a happening thing. Both were purchased, so stayed in Oz at completion. One is still at the Tank Museum, the other in private ownership under restoration.
