Default Operation Kangaroo

I found this image while doing a tour through the Royal Fusiliers Museum in the Tower of London a couple of weeks ago. I had never heard of Operation Kangaroo in the Western Desert during the Second World War, has anyone else? This appears to be a Ram Kangaroo in use in the desert, has anyone ever heard of this?

I think the photograph is Post-Second War or perhaps late Second War as it appears that the soldiers are using No. 5 Lee Enfields and I think I see the odd Mk III or IV Helmet. Any comments?

Unfortunately I did not see any narrative on this in the Museum and the photograph was in the Second War Section.

Thank you.
