Vehicle No. 47662235; Engine no. 47108910; PTO (fitted with centre Power Take Off); Key 558; supplied to Winchcombe Carson (probably for a customer) by Grenville Motors on 27.8.54. Not registered in Sydney like your other one so no registration plate details.
Probably passed on to the Mulbring BFB in later life.

Yowza!!! That's a lot of detail though. I take it winchcombe Carson is a company? Or is that the first owner?

Winchcombe Carson & Co and later Winchcombe Carson Ltd were woolbrokers and pastoralists, so likely it was for one of their properties or a customer. Quite a few vehicles went to them, some have added Yass, Harden, etc. - either a property or office, Stock & Station Agency or the like. Ask around the town.

There is a book about the company apparently:
A brief history of Winchcombe Carson Limited / compiled by Bruce Carberry, Blayney. - Version details - Trove

Archives:

Winchcombe, Carson Limited - ANU Archives

The name is still around as Winchcombe Carson Financial Planning, owned by IOOF. Google it.

Hello from Brisbane.

Thought it might have been government issue.

When I saw the original photos that you posted I thought it might have once belonged to the Plague Locust Commission - basically a Federal Government outfit that operated across the cereal belt locating and spraying locust swarms.

I remember seeing a couple of PLC trucks in Canberra when they were new (late 70s) and they had the tropical roof and 3/4 canvas canopy. They were a very light green/cream colour which was also available for minis and probably a few other Leyland models at the time.

Cheers,
