Could be a captured German BMW or a Soviet Ural / Denpr or a Chinese CJ750 (Chang Jiang) http://www.cj750.net/ All of them used the horizontally opposed engine.. The Chi-Com CJs had the flat heads though.

There aren't any slat grilles in any of the pictures. There are pictures of MB's, GPW's, and in the case of the 2 Commonwealth officers, a CJ-2.

The officer on the right appears to be Australian with the rank of Major - going by the Crown on the epaulets and the "sunburst" badge on the cap. The one on the left appears to be a RAF Squadron Leader.
