    The vehicle in the foreground is armoured car C-318, named "Starfish." One of six LP-3 Armoured Cars ("LP" for "Local Pattern") produced in total (C-314 Crow, C-315 Curlew, C-316 Cockatoo, C-317 Stingray, C-318 Starfish and C-319 Snake) (source) by Ordnance Factory Maribyrnong. Perhaps all six are captured in this photo?

    I think it was Wednesday, 7th May 1941. See this article via Trove which mentions the nicknames on the armoured cars - trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/17747157 There are also difficult-to-see photos two pages later; the middle one has a line of six armoured cars - trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/page/1103313
