Those front wheels look like they are Bedford wheels.

What is the badge under the windscreen?

Bedford dashboards are distinctive too.

Can you post a pic of them?

Is there online rego check in Vic like in NSW and other states?

Do you have the year of the body number? PMC tended to reuse body numbers.
