Is it being used as a Japanese army truck?

Many parts filmed in Australia. I'd guess most people (in the public) would not have a clue as outside of historians or related, how many are familar with WW2 era Japanese trucks/transport equipment?

And there's probably not much authentic Japanese hardware left. Empire of the Sun used Soviet and Chinese models as Japanese army trucks, and it also used a Bedford. :)

Yes, that's probably a bigger reason to be honest.

This is an Austin K2 or K4, not a Bedford.
