Somebody on the G503 forum wrote, the outfit is a US Navy uniform. Appears to be a early Willys MB with a black steering wheel. https://purl.slwa.wa.gov.au/download...b2389508_6.jpg https://purl.slwa.wa.gov.au/slwa_b2389508_5 https://purl.slwa.wa.gov.au/download...b2515521_1.jpg https://purl.slwa.wa.gov.au/slwa_b2515521_2

Plymouth 12 cwt Van. I bought one of these in 1981, it was still registered ( since 1956) and I drove it home battling the busy traffic. The brakes were very good, the engine tired, it tended to overheat. The seller used it since 1956 for family holidays to Mildura and driving to work at CIG Preston. It was generally worn out and needed a lot of work. I eventually sold it to a member of the Chrysler car club. https://purl.slwa.wa.gov.au/download...2402801_13.jpg https://purl.slwa.wa.gov.au/download...b2513883_1.jpg These WW1 RFC motorcycles have been I.D. as Phelon & Moore.

Ford
Further investigation reveals what could be a 41 Ford , the long marker lights on the top of front guards are unique to this year. Looks like the RAAF used these Fords. Or could it be a visiting army vehicle ? The number is partly visible ?15?25

Script MB
The 'Follow Me' jeep is a early script Willys MB that has been retrofitted with the trailer socket. My early MB had the same mod done.

Windscreen doesn't look correct ?

Gpw
This jeep appears to be a GPW, the shock mounts and the front spring clips are typical of a GPW.
Also noticed the Black swan unit sign, it is a West. Aust. scene so that does add up. The trailer is a U.S. pattern Bantam/Willys. 1953.

Those 'U' numbers - they were usually seen on locally assembled Aust. pattern vehicles i.e. RHD staff cars . But anything is possible. Going through the AWM 126 you see some vehicles that were transferred to the U.S. forces in Australia, including CMPs .

Mike posted this pic earlier.
This was one of two Civilian Champ's involved in a major undertaking in Western Australia. In January of 1954 the Surveyor General of Western Australia tasked John F Morgan with surveys, classification and topographical study of the virtually uninhabited North Kimberley Region in the far North of the state. (Some 15 000 square miles) The list of equipment used for the 20 strong expedition: Two Austin Champs (WN3) with trailers Two Austin K9 30cwt 4x4 trucks A GMC 6x6 and Willy’s Jeep and trailer supplied by the Australian Army Bulldozer and grader with a 4x2 stores truck for road making 25 pack donkeys, 4 pack mules and 13 horses. Portable 2way wireless units using the Royal Flying Doctor Service network where provided for communication between parties as well as the time signal needed for accurate surveying. Supply was from the Avro Ansons belonging to MacRobertson Miller Aviation Co who where then flying for the RFDS In a National Geographic article (The last Horseback Explorer, March 10, 2010) John Morgan had this to say: “Those Austin Champs were heavy and the dust would billow up through the cab and the driver would come out after a day’s drive absolutely choked and covered in dust.” https://purl.slwa.wa.gov.au/download...70_1.jpg?agree

Japanese staff car
Is this a Japanese staff car ?
Answer: The car is a Nissan model 70, basically, a clone of the U.S. Graham-Paige sedan. From wiki: When Nissan started to assemble larger vehicles under the "Nissan" brand in 1937, much of the design plans and plant facilities were supplied by the Graham-Paige Company.[21] Nissan also had a Graham license under which passenger cars, buses, and trucks were made.[25] More from the Toyota museum: Under the 1936 Automotive Manufacturing Industries Law, which was designed to protect and promote the domestic automobile industry, Nissan Motor Co. Ltd. acquired design plans and production facilities for large passenger cars from Graham-Paige of the United States, starting production and sale of the Nissan Type 70 passenger car in 1937. Although only sedans were available at first, a phaeton model displayed here was added to the lineup later on, with some 5,500 units produced in total. https://collectionswa.net.au/items/a...f-01b9f57b51ee And, a 1941 Buick car in civilian livery. Staff car maybe ? https://collectionswa.net.au/items/f...5-09797e9f7da7
