Windshield stantions, wheels, top rests, and tail light all point to Model A Ford.  Door handle is for a Model A Sedan.  John

 

Looked at the wrong picture.

This started out as a coupe body.

A roadster would have a nail flange at the upper beltline where the sheetmetal gets nailed to the wood framing. Instead there is a ragged cut sheetmetal edge.

Another clue is the 2 tabs with 3 holes each. This is where the vertical wood timbers that support the roof structure and form the sides of the rear window framing are fastened to the lower sheetmetal.

If this is located in Australia, then it is probably a Holden or other local manufactured body which differs enough from US made bodies and is making identification difficult. 

Advertise this as a hotrod roadster project body and someone will want it.
