I wonder how many of those extended body T’s have survived after they were used up. Looks like they were built up on a TT chassis so their traveling speed wouldn’t be much over 25 if that fast.

Not many, I'd guess. I've never seen one, or any recognizable part of one.

The truck with a big pile of people on it is likely a South Australian vehicle. Duncan and Fraser, the Ford distributors for SA, used to sign weight the hood in similar fashion. My son's car based tractor is painted with Ford 10 cent lorry.

The brass radiator bus with the picnic party is definitely South Australian. Port Pirie is on the Spencer Gulf in the state's mid north.

Both vehicles may be what were known as charabancs. These were working vehicles during the week and the bus seating was fitted for weekend social outings.
