Likely the body shell was built at Woodville, Sth Australia then railed over to Fishermens Bend Melbourne for fitting onto a chassis imported from Canada. I believe the whole front end was imported: bonnet, grill and guards plus the chassis and major mechanicals , engine and RHD steering components so on.
I estimate the CP rego prefix is from around late 40 or early 41 . If it was taken on army charge, then maybe the car may have been released by the army after a short period then re-issued to a civvy owner sometime during the war. Being a original factory green already maybe means the army just didn't bother painting it ? If only the car could speak to us
