L of C
Sorry Howard...L of C = Line of Communication
All of Australia was broken up into areas called Line of Communication areas. These were the HQ's and fixed camp troop units such as workshops, AA protection, Ambulance/medical units and hospitals etc. The white band at the bottom often had black letters denoting which state the L of C unit was from like 'Q' for Queensland etc.

for example
below is a photo of a 1/35 Australian Pattern CMP Ambulance I made. The unit sign on the passenger (RHS looking from front) side of the bumper shows that this is an ambulance unit (487 on red/green diagonal) from a Queensland Line of Communications unit. (white stripe with 'Q' in it) It also belongs to a Headquarters unit as it has the Rising Sun Tactical marking above the passenger side headlight.
hope this helps

Howard your truck may not have been a L of C unit truck but a 'Corps' truck with the white bar.
Below is a scan from Stephen Talberts Formation sign book showing the different set ups for the Unit Signs.
