We've had every other car this company built already, so someone must recognize this one?

It is wearing a Mistral body but it's not a Buckler.

Not Fairthorpe and no MG connection. This car has a Make and model (number) of its own.

Not an Elva.... although there is a convoluted connection between Elva and this marque!

KM 300 built by Keith Morrison of Sydney, Australia using Hillman mechanical components (Morrison was a Rootes dealer in Sydney)

Correct!
This is the first of the KM 300s built by Morrison. The 'production' cars used a shell based on the Falcon MkII and I think this Mistral-bodied car is unique
