To my tired eyes, that looks like a number of German military personnel standing on the property to the right, and quite a lot of them seem to be smiling.

David,

Hanno's link gives the location as "Van Baerlestraat" at the location of the old Iceskating club. I just found out that the building was taken down in 1947 and the ice rink is what we now call the "Museumplein"...the scene of an anti Covid lockdown demonstration, today!

That is a Canadian vehicle - see the maple leaf sign at the rear.

I'm thinking HQ (the 9) 1st Canadian Army.

The vehicle may even have come up with the Corps from Italy.
