NEI reg. plates
I can see the Dutch flag and RNF reg. plates on this rig. Presumably the pic was taken in Victoria.
NEI ARMY DENTAL SERVICES - imagine the torture that went on inside that trailer. Jeep in Korea and a YMCA Jeep . Indian pattern ambo on a training exercise.

Location is given: Puckapunyal
This is the coupe style ute with the split rear window. Most of these , including the army issued examples, had the truck style cab with a separate wooden framed rear tub. US army training in Victoria somewhere: if you can believe the captions ! Motorcycles in Syria.

RAAF ATR2 wireless sets in use. Ford line up is in the Middle East. Looks as if these vehicles have just been unloaded from the ship.

Might be a good idea to keep these SLV pics in the one post, rather than splitting them up and posting them on sub-forums.

1941 Willys car used by Melbourne Police during WW2 - fitted with a Police radio receiver ( caption is incorrect, not a 77 model ) . Bodywork was probably by Flood. The few sedans assembled had GM-H bodies fitted. There was a 41 Willys sedan up at Bendigo for sale in the early 1980s , purchased new by a doctor, the reg. papers were in the glovebox . I could have bought it for $100 , a very rare car and RHD. Pic is sourced from the Vic. Police museum.
