Certainly FWD, the axles are very distinctive. I have no idea what model. I thought HAR1 had bolt on wheels.
What a shame it is so far gone. David

Quick and accurate ID, I thank you gentlemen.
It has been in this state for quite a few years, does not seem to be losing any more pieces than when I first saw it. Shame it is as it is, but on the other hand, it is always nice to see it still there as I go past. Maybe one of the moderators could tack it on to the discussion as linked by Tony? Rich.

Interesting info
Just chanced across some HAR-01 relevant data while indexing paperwork (I'm way behind - some of these documents date back to copying I did 11 years ago!)
At an MGO conference on 4 July 1944, it was decided that the total number of sets for Canadian radar units would be limited to 54 sets - 49 that were already in Australia, and a further 5 then in transit, complete with trucks. No further trucks for radar units would be required from Canada. If such was the actual case, it would mean a total of 108 FWD HAR-01 arrived in Australia - 54 tractors for the A trailers and 54 for the B trailers. I've only managed to locate a total of 58 thus far, so there may be another 50 FWD HAR-01 lurking somewhere within the pages of AWM126. Mike

Does anyone know if this truck still exists?

The owner from that time has passed away, and I don't know if it's been passed on to a family member or sold to a new owner. The site has been comprehensively picked clean (or rehabilitated, as they say) of all heavy items, ie the trucks and lots of smaller stuff like spring packs, diffs, drums/hubs, transmissions that were scattered about. The only remnants left are lighter gauge items like corrugated iron water tanks and a couple of severely corroded car bodies. That would suggest to me a scrap dealer, as what is left is not viable to scrap. Of note, the area was affected by the Dec 2019 Bushfires, and the property clean-up contractors would "helpfully" remove absolutely everything if not told to leave specific items.

RAOC Chilwell
I posted this on an FB group as I couldn't ID it... The oddly cropped image is taken from the scrapbook-style 'Chilwell 1939 - 1945' self-published book.
The WD serial number appears to come from a Canadian block.

"Canadian not on 'B' Census"
Quote:
As per the Chillwell list, that number is part of the block 4200000 - 4299999 "Canadian not on 'B' Census". But not listed on WD Census Numbers allotted to Canadian Forces in England (1942) which only runs up to 423-. That means the number on this FWD was one from a range assigned after July 1943. Quote:

WD Serial Number
I agree, that's what it looks like. I'd assumed that it would be prefixed 'CH' for Canadian service...I also hadn't given any thought to Chilwell stocking and maintaining vehicles that were on the Canadian lists.

Fwd truck
ran across this old Fwd lined up with Ford SnoGo, C60 Chev, and snow blower, FWD has a name inscribed in firewall and the date 1942, not sure what year it is but its in pretty good condition for sitting out in the cold all these years.
