That does appear to be a RAAF number. The " 20 " prefix was normally a RAAF thing. From what I understand the blue finish was a post war applied livery ( on that particular truck, the blue seems to be far too light ) .During the war, I believe they were issued vehicles in the normal green . Does anyone know more about this ? I once had a ex-RAAF Ford GPW body in the faded post war Blue with white RAAF markings on the bonnet, it fades to a much more grey / blue colour - the RAAF used WW2 Jeeps right through the 1950's and on into the early 60's even. And some CJ3B's as well as Dodge power wagons and others oddities.
