I think you're right about White, and the second one is a Ford, and the third one a Stewart.

and then what are the two vehicle that they spotted in Australia?   They are both mid-twenties Dodge Brothers Out to pasture is a Humber (Super)Snipe and something US from the 1950s looking like a 1956 Chevrolet but you're making me squint |

Similar, it's a 1948-50 Mercury M-series. |

Apparently so, some info: mercury-truck-historyThe background not mentioned here is there was already an engineering works established that built Fords under licence, later enveloped into the seperate company 'Ford of Canada' We can also see the hood side trim is Mercury, as the name is at centre and not front-forward as on the Ford. Tailgate on a Flareside (stepside) bed would also be embossed 'Mercury' across its width in those big letters    Apart from that, the Mercury engines were supposed to be uprated over the Ford, in line with the more 'upmarket' trim |

 I'm no expert at all on motorcycles, but I think Mum is sitting on a Sunbeam S8 (1949-56). The frame and engine are quite distinctive.  |

It was her brother in laws brothers bike and come to think of it I think she mentioned Sunbeam once. Cannot confirm that as mum passed away over easter and the other two pre deceased her.😐 |

The White estate car looks like maybe a sidevalve Ford van conversion, maybe a Thames E83W.
The cars above from the earlier posting, of December 8th, above the Austin (looks like a 10 Cambridge or Lichfield). The wire wheeled 20's car below it I tempted to say Alvis. The first one definitely a Rover 8 of the late 1920's.
