A 141 would be my first guess, much more common as double drive(?) than the 111. A few 112s/ 113s are still around, I snapped one a few years ago:
Clever Australia, we all know that the aircraftās black box was invented in Australia, as was the cochlear implant. Now it has emerged that the s ex act was too. I canāt claim any credit, it was a bit before my time.

I hope itās available in your region.
Here Robroy, you might fancy this one.
In New Guinea Australian troops were helped massively by the indigenous men, most affectionately known as Fuzzy Wuzzies.
Churchill and John Curtin (Aus PM) argued over placement of Australian troops after the fall of Singapore. Churchill wanted them at his disposal, being prepared to let Japan take Australia, while Curtin wanted them in the Pacific and SE Asian theatres to defend Australia. Australia declared war on Germany on 3rd Sept, as soon as they heard Britainās declaration, but of course once Australia was under direct threat the government and troops wanted to defend their own country, wives and children. Churchill lost that battle, with Australian troops redeployed to Borneo and New Guinea.
Under MacArthur the Diggers got the raw end of the stick usually sent to battles MacArthur did not believe winnable but when won, claimed them as American victories.
Oh well, we won in the end.
My dad was in the Korean war and he told me how tough and hard the Aussies were. One of them broke down and the rest of them didnāt like it. He said it was as they saw it a sign of weakness. He said they were a very tough bunch. That war took its toll on him something he had to go to at a young age due to National Service. He saw some of his colleagues blown up on a train .He very rarely spoke about it but he did pay the ultimate price much later in his life mentioning it in his final days. They had to put their lives at risk for MPs that didnāt and dont give a toss
Young men fighting old menās battles.
Now for something a little less depressing , unless you had to drive one of course. Just how did the Americans get a foothold in the Australian market ???
Simple, they offered a product better suited to Australian conditions. Once the protectionist tarrifs were removed it was thanks, but no thanks Pommieland.
A tongue in cheek remark there SDU try to keep up .The same thing happened here

You posted those pictures earlier, yet have the cheek to tell me to keep up. 
@ SDU Reference was to the old AECs god knows how they drove those in 40c heat , we didnāt build anything suitable for Aussie terrain. The only successful British motors out there would have been heavily modified to suit the conditions on arrival
Yeah mate, I was onto it. I was having a retaliatory shot at you for double posting. 
My mateās dad was in Egypt in 1940, from there redeployed to New Guinea. Discharged in 1946 and couldnāt find work se re-enlisted in late 1946. Served in Korea and stayed in until early 1970s, when he was going to be sent to Vietnam. He decided heād seen enough battlefields and bailed after thirty years accumulated service. RIP Bert, I salute you.
The Korean War isnāt mentioned much but it certainly left scars with many , my dad wasnāt interested in the army but had no choice he had to go like so many others.He did say he was fit as a fiddle over the course of his stint. A bit like school he didnāt want to be there
That Commer with the single axle tipping trailer is similar to one I drove for Maurice Braddock, not in Oz but maybe he exported it. 
He was an owner driver subbing for Dixons of Derby, big in tipperdom back in the day. Apart from the racket which all but destroyed my ears it had a very under performing air brake system. Even in a very low gear going down a very steep hill in Kent, just a couple of dabs on the brakes brought it to a halt, Better than not working at all but it was a bit embarrassing, keeping on stopping to catch its breath. 
He went on holiday and told me to drive the one he drove, a Dodge 6 wheeler, but that was soon off the road because the police sent me home with it for kicking out too much black smoke. So the Dixon brother that dealt with drivers siezed on me to drive one of their new 88s, very nice, but when Maurice came back from holiday he wanted me back on the Commer but Dixon said no way, heās ours now and we need him. Morris said ok, he can make his own mind up and I am shamed to admit I shrugged to Maurice and said, Commer or Volvo, what can I do? 
Iāll bet you tossed a coin. A double headed coin.
Yes, and didnāt wait for it to land.
And with reference to @buzzer 's kind reference to my poor memory, I have just this instant remembered the traffic side Dixon brotherās name, Oscar.
The other bro was Brian and he looked after the Renault (I think) dealership side of the business. They were always in conflict, Oscar wanted nothing but Volvos and Brian, aware of how badly that looked as he was trying to flog Renaults, was always trying to change his mind.
