more like WW2 itself as that is a 1939 Ford station wagon in the background along with the British style trucks.

 Mind you MC's would look like an 11/12 Blitz if you had had a beer or two and not bothered to put your glasses on either.    On a more serious note I enlarged the photo but could not bring up a clear view but to me as I say the trucks all look like MC's or similar of British make except for the Ford Station Wagon so I put this at late 1939/40.

Conviction
Yes I must admit I had had 2 beers after a big day and hadnt eaten dinner when I was looking. But I'll stick to my guns and say thats an Cab 11/12 in the middle.
To the left and slightly above the station wagon. If you can Cliff, enlarge the photo & post it. I'm now very keen to find out one way or the other.

I have done my best but the original photo is too low Res to do much with. I have managed to get it to the stage below and, Sorry Tony, still maintain it is a Morris Commercial and a radio version as it appears to be an aerial sticking up from it.

I'm not so sure about the Morris thing. The windshield slopes back and the front edge of the front fenders is straight. It looks like an 8cwt wireless body with that telltale 45 degree angle at the bottom rear of the box.
I added the higher res image and it turned into a Morris.

Its a MC... one easy pick is the lack of bumper bar then when pic blown up you can make out the cnopy bow abover the drivers door as well and thw size and angle of the windscreen. I'd go did up the orginal but busy getting things done befor haeding off to Corowa.
