Help Required From New Zealand Please

I'm trying to establish if the Bill Allen who was involved in the fatal racing accident which resulted in the death of Australian Noel Johnson in England in 1931 was the same Bill Allen who pioneered speedway in New Zealand in 1929. The Bill Allen who rode in New Zealand also rode here in Brisbane at Davies Park during the 1928/29 season.

 

Mention has been found in an English newspaper report from 1931 that the Bill Allen who was riding for Coventry in England at the time of Johnson's death had ridden "in the Antipodes".
