Hi Mike
the lower picture (circa 1942) shows a refugee cargo Austin K2Y Ambulance (1941) of the 2AACC, NSW Driver Harris.
with the year make and weight painted on the toe board.(light bit under right arm)
(I have seen the original picture)
most Ambulances (Austin's) with 2AACC are in the record books,
those Ambulances in the record books should have both British WD Nos. and Australian Army numbers, painted on the vehicle.
those not in the record books kept the British Army Number, But were reissued without the prefix letter, as those in the 1AACC Queensland.

But despite this some continued with the British Army number in full, and some had names instead, i.e. AUSTIN 1 etc of the 3AACC Victoria.
although against regulations of the time.

this may apply to other refugee vehicles

The other picture is of another or maybe the same Austin Ambulance,(2018)
for better clarity,
regs
