Default M151A1 jeep in RAAF service?

On the Australian War Memorial Photograph Database I found a picture of a M151A1 "jeep" in service with the RAAF in Vietnam. As far as I know, the M151-series truck was never in Australian inventory.

Who can tell more about the use of M151-series jeeps by the Australian military? Was the one pictured here a one-off or were more used in Vietnam?

Thanks,
Hanno

They are watched by Father John Grannall (right) and Bill Deane, the public relations officer for the National Headquarters, Australian Red Cross, Melbourne. The orphanage received support as a civil aid project from locally-based Australian and American forces. (Donor C. Tilly)
