I think a wider view of the situation would be more helpful?

It would bit I don't have it. It's on the end of a street at a T junction. The yellow line is for the end of the street where the kurb drops and rounds the corner. Yellow lines are the only thing it could have got a ticket for.

If the vehicle overhangs the double yellows by more than a couple of inches it's an infringement.

ANY overhang is an infringement.

OP, can we have a google streetview? Road name? May give us some tips.

Yes but the de minimis principle applies so up to a couple of inches shouldn't be prosecuted.

Thought you weren't supposed to park close to junctions.

Harsh, but within the rules. So technically yes, but you'd hope ticketing wasn't done to meet any sort of targets and the chap/chapess would have applied a bit of human kindness.

[lucido grigio]

Yes ,then clamp and tow.....

I thought any yellow lines (single or double) had to be complete i.e. Not broken up like the line in the photo?

Exactly. No way do those blobs of yellow paint conform to any roadside signage.
