Battery
Great pic showing details of the cab. Is that a battery between the seats ? Looks like it is a D model . I recently found a workshop manual for the WOT2 trucks.
The Vokes concertina air filter: Hughes yard at Coburg in Melbourne had a large pile of these filters, all of them were rusted but repairable - I believe they were scrapped during a cleanup.

C model
Keith's pic . Apparently it is a C model . Should have spotted the drop side body.
I spotted the shiny instrument bezels. Driver's seat is from a Bedford MW maybe ?

Post-war
I have only seen one or two pics of these WOT2 trucks in army wartime use within Australia. The British W.D. type trucks must have been issued on a limited basis to certain Aust. army units training in Aust., and the newspaper article indicates some of the trucks were considered to be released for essential civilian use as early as 1944.
