The car carries the unit sign of the Northern Territory Public Works Department, part of the Commonwealth Department of the Interior (hence the D of I code on the image). The Unit sign was a yellow square with black numerals.

My initial thought was a Austin 7. Somebody else agrees

The wheels are three stud Austin 7 type with elongated holes for the locators. Nothing else really had wheels like that so I’d say it’s a coach built or special body on an Austin 7 chassis. The body isn’t really like anything that was sold ex works by Austin in UK as far as I can remember. Perhaps the body is an Aussie built type?
