LOL! What a sheister this bloke is. Not a chance in hell that either of those jigs are from the 1940s, or made is Australia - remember that is nearly 70 years ago!

Check out another lure he has for sale - a USA made 1950s Lake fishing trout lure:

For starters Rebel didn't start making this type of lure until the late 1960s. Although I doubt it is that old. It is likely a sun-bleached lure he's pulled off a snag somewhere.
For comparison this one is circa 1984.....look familiar?
