RAAF ground crew with a GMC and Rex the guard dog. The location is a long way from home. Can just make out 'RAAF' on the bumper bar

Yes it is. Maybe it is a mobile workshop trailer, the canvas blinds on the sides are in the down position, which makes it hard to see what is inside. The original poster gave a clue , he thinks it is a EAGLE trailer- Whatever that is ?
