That picture and another, https://collections.slsa.sa.gov.au/r...+213/121/9/40A, show chalk marks on the vehicles.

One picture shows "Dunlop" written on a front wheel. For Australians, this would at first glance appear to be a well know tyre manufacturer. However, it also shows up on the fuel tank, and Dunlop were not known to be sheet metal fabricators or fuel tank makers. Perhaps it is the name of a quality control inspector, odd that his name is "writ large", rather than a discreet initial or tick.
