Ward's strip
Somebody may have posted this pic previously but anyway . Bob S had his C11ADF at Corowa in 2020.
From memory, this was a scene at Ward's airstrip in Port Morseby , but it could be 7 mile strip which was very close by . The Ford reg. number only reveals two numerals.... 45. Was this a RAAF number ? I wonder if the marriage worked out OK https://www.awm.gov.au/collection/C189140 Found both bride and groom in the NAA system, she was 2+ years older than he was.

Possibilities?
As I see it, the options are very limited within the Aust Registration schemes:
AMF: 45: Morris lorry 45x: Artillery tractors 45xx: not an option?: block assigned to PMG 45xxx: possibility AIF: (with an 'M' type prefix) 45: A Chev van 45X: all Chev 30cwt lorries 45xx: 1 ton Ford B/S RAAF: not an option RAN: not an option PMG: 45xx: Possibility? Ex-British Army/British supplied vehicle: Would have been supplied to the AIF and have an 'M' (for car) prefix plus the AIF ordinarily prefixed the Brit number with 'AIF', so unlikely from what we can see in the image. Possibly a Brit number repainted/reapplied without the 'M' or 'AIF'? (The 'M' type prefix was also used for the AIF registration system.) Mike

Ok
Thanks for looking. I would say it is a small 5 digit reg. number , the spare tyre is hiding it which doesn't help.
The N.T. film wedding car has a faint number on the bonnet/tailgate but it is not readable. Here is a example from F/book. Not sure of the location.
