I looked up number of the LCM just out of curiosity and it appears it was amongst the Landing craft mechanised (MkI) LCM lost during Operation Torch

If so it might be possible to find the exact location where it sank as this is the sort of thing the Navy should have a record of and might indicate where this picture was taken and where your father landed in North Africa.
