Hello Mike, thanks for sharing these images. However, I am unsuccessful finding the back the photos in the AWM database at https://www.awm.gov.au/advanced-search.
E.g. when I enter 8385-AMWA49031 or parts thereof in the search engine I get no hits. Do you know how to fix this? Thanks in advance,

Great photos. The Chevrolet truck, ARN AIF L-16041 and my Chev ARN AIF L-16070 both went to the Middle East on 6th October 1941 on the ship Tricolor, spelt the Australian way Tricolour in the AWM books.
The Tricolor spelling was a problem when I searched the WW2 sailing log of the ship. The log also showed that the ship sailed a couple of days later than the 6th. Maybe the 6th was when it was loaded. Both trucks returned to Australia and were sold to General Motors Holden when disposed of . Even though my truck is fairly complete it is nice to have a good reference photo of the camo and it looks like I also have the correct canopy frame accumulated from somewhere. If I ever get it restored and display it, I will be able to do a correct lather up for a shave.

Unfortunately there are numerous discrepancies between sources for shipping. This was an independent running voyage, ie not in convoy. Great way to get picked off by a surface raider.

This one is a Ford ute with the separate cab. Quite a few of the pics show the vehicles with the 9th Div. sign and a unit number. C11ADF I think https://collectionswa.net.au/items/9...6-ab1088d97a0a Ford V4061 in Darwin. Chevy utes https://collectionswa.net.au/items/2...2-f592071e55dc

A crowd in the back of a AIF ute . Italian equipment . A ham radio friend who was a M.E. veteran told me he loved riding the Italian ALCE motorbikes.

Could be a Ford WOT2 in the background of the staged capture scene.

Spray guns have changed little over the years.
Looks like a Breakdown truck with a gantry visible.. likely it fell into Japanese hands.
