080310M Newport Workshops (Melbourne, Vic.): Fire Services Museum of Victoria open day at its backstore. (Roderick Smith)
The GS.... numberplate makes it late 1950s.
The museum online catalog describes it as a 3.4 L Hino tanker. Was Hino selling in Australia in that era?

103 is its fleet ("car") number, the 1 on the door indicates it runs from Station no 1 (Eastern Hill, Headquarters).
