Melbourne Jeep trailer
I found these pics in the Victorian State Library .
Looks like a prototype Jeep trailer, possibly by Martin and King . M&K were high end automotive body builders.Based in High St Malvern, they built bodies for Rolls Royce cars. Looking through the Trove newspapers archive, M&K built a few special trailers during WW2 https://find.slv.vic.gov.au/discover...nced&offset=40

Ski lodge
Ski lodge Jeep, it has 1946 issued Victorian number plates, JE 170 . Some of our club Jeeps featured these 1946 J series number plates, I can think of a few owners that sadly have gone to heaven.

This could be one of the 'Jumping Jeeps' . A film that was probably filmed in Melbourne.

Japanese truck
Aircraft starter truck of Japanese origin.
Advance parties of R.A.A.F. mobile works units were among the first to land on Noemfoor Island, in North-western New Guinea. Two days after the main body landed, R.A.A.F. Kittyhawks touched down on the captured Kamiri airstrip. Date [ca. 1944] Identifier(s) H98.100/4474 Found on wiki. Appears to be a Toyota KB. The similar KC model had flat fenders. One special use for the KC truck was to start aircraft engines on Japanese military airfields, after being equipped with a Hucks starter. A power take-off was taken from after the gearbox. It rose behind the cabin and then projected forward. This was mated to the spinner on an aircraft's propeller to start the aircraft engine. Because this version of the KC wasn't used for heavy cargo, its cargo bed was narrow and the rear wheels were singles instead of the normal doubles. Also, the cabin was very basic, having plywood sides, no doors and a canvas roof. The starter truck was unique in having running boards, due to its narrow cargo bed. Hasegawa made a 1:72 scale plastic model of the KC starter truck labelled as "Starter Truck Toyota GB", even although the real GB had a curved radiator grill and more complex bodywork https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_G1#KC
