.... and the artillery piece is a 25-pdr fitted with a muzzle brake, so a British (or Canadian?) manufactured/supplied weapon, not Australian. Not sure if the Brits were using 25-pdrs with muzzle brakes in late 1941/early 1942, but if not (as I suspect), then this item must have been supplied to the Dutch later in the war or post-war. The Australian Government transferred a lot of equipment to the RNEIA in 1945-46, but this 25-pdr was not part of that, as Australia did not start fitting muzzle brakes to towed 25-pdrs until the early 1960s.
