Possibilities?
As I see it, the options are very limited within the Aust Registration schemes:
AMF:
45: Morris lorry
45x: Artillery tractors
45xx: not an option?: block assigned to PMG
45xxx: possibility
AIF: (with an 'M' type prefix)
45: A Chev van
45X: all Chev 30cwt lorries
45xx: 1 ton Ford B/S
RAAF: not an option
RAN: not an option
PMG: 45xx: Possibility?
Ex-British Army/British supplied vehicle: Would have been supplied to the AIF and have an 'M' (for car) prefix plus the AIF ordinarily prefixed the Brit number with 'AIF', so unlikely from what we can see in the image. Possibly a Brit number repainted/reapplied without the 'M' or 'AIF'? (The 'M' type prefix was also used for the AIF registration system.)
