An excellent picture, thanks for posting.
But the date is not correct, you can see clearly the dome of the Radar which was installed when ILE DE FRANCE was at San Franciso in 1942. She arrived 24.11.1942 and left 08.12.42.
So very probably taken 1942-43, for later on she left Australian waters for the Atlantic to ferry troops in preparation of the invasion in the Normandie.
