Default Mercury Ute

I was wondering if this right hand drive Mercury Ute was built in Australia or ?
It is Listed for sale in Canada . Unsure of the exact year, looks like 1946, probably to new for Military production .

Yes looks to be post war 46 or 47 . I have seen a few of these around but they were normally assembled as Fords not Mercury, Unusual to see one in Canada. There was a blue Ford example driving around the Dandenongs for years.
