Hi Rob,

Front rank are 1st Aust Armoured Division Provost Company, their badges are the small copper oxidised General Service badge, or 'rising sun'. In most cases their berets appear to be black and if so are presumably being worn unofficially as it was only the divisional cavalry regiments who wore black berets at that time.

The remaining ranks are drawn from the armoured regiments of the division and are presumably despatch riders. They are wearing the correct khaki beret then worn by the Australian Armoured Corps.
