I at first thought that Chevrolet might be an American vehicle but it looks like RAAF , not USA, in small letters above the numbers. My Dodge WC53 Carryall only had those small letters for USA near the numbers on the original bonnet/hood markings not the usual large font.

Looks like Mike is spot-on as usual.

The American numbering system is close but not for this vehicle.

The first one or two numbers in the sequence determined the vehicle type.
Jeeps always had the prefix 20, which stood for ‘reconnaissance’ followed by the vehicle's registration number. For the first 99,999 jeeps this was a 5 digit number; later jeeps had 6 digits.

Registration Number Prefixes
Light Trucks 2
Reconnaissance Trucks & Jeeps 20
Medium Trucks 3
Trucks 2.5 - 5 ton 4
Trucks 5+ ton 5
Tanks 30
Tracked & Half-Tracked Vehicles (not Tanks) 40
Armored Cars & Special Command Vehicles 60
