Lindy,
1.
Fiche Individuelle – often Fiche individuelle d’état civil - is a French name used for a document with information corresponding more or less to an ID card plus birth plus marriage if any. Until year 2000 it was an official document one could get at any mairie (city hall) where a city employee could fill up a form with information copied from official original records shown by petitioner, put a date, and stamp it with city seal. A kind of document stating: I, employee of the city X, have seen original documents, demonstrating that this person resides here, was born there, from parents that and that, is married to.

The terminology is French.
The first line “address” is in the village/city Mussbach, Germany, which is part to a district/lander/whatever administrative organization given in the second line, here Neustadt, Germany.
The third line “Situation de famille” indicates a civil status of a person: célibataire (single), marrié (married), veuf (widow), divorcé (divorced). Your line starts with “cel”, célibataire, single.
Apparently your Fiche Individuelle had also a photo of your father, and his fingerprints. That let me think it was even more a document like ID-card, given to persons which are not nationals, but residents (whatever that could mean after WWII, residents of Europe after WWII turmoil), and have to be identified, even if they are stateless, former PoW, former forced labor, civils left on the road, etc.

When I follow your dates and places on the map, it looks like Mussbach camp for 3 years, then, 3 years later decisions to move towards North, almost to Koblenz [intention to go to the US?], then U-turn, 1500 km to Naples, then another U-turn, and more than 800 km to Trieste [emigration to Australia]. Turmoil after WWII.
12 June 1946: Mussbach seems to be a little river, near Neustadt an der Weinstrasse, Germany
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mu%C3%9Fbach_%28Rehbach%29
Then, 3 years later:
11 April 1949: Kaiserslautern, Germany
Niederlahnstein, Germany
Simmern, Germany
29 September 1949: transfer to Naples, Italy
20 October 1949: emigrated to Australia from Trieste, Italy

The place of birth: Bazar, Poland is not unique in Poland. Three Bazar in today Poland: Bazar, Masovian Voivodeship. Bazar, Łódź Voivodeship, Bazar, Lublin Voivodeship
The old geography book from 1880-1900 gives 5 villages Bazar, and tells a nice story about King Sobieski and Bazar in the county Krasnystaw.

I am not historian of WWII, and I did not see any comprehensive document about after-WWII displacements.
Year 1946, WWII is over, Yalta deal signed, European countries making up their shape, for next years of cold war.
Many Polish soldiers, Poles from 1939, who went to the WWII to fight for their country are subject of communist horror, they have no home to go back. They were part to Allied Armies, but they became stateless.
From my own family: the elder brother of my Mom left in September 1939 for the WWII, and got emprizoned (PoW) by Russians in Lwow, tortured in Kamtchatka, left pedestrian with Anders Army through Iran to Palestine. Nobody ever seen him again, one censored letter here and then until his death.
Last year I was able to find in the UK BMD records my cousin birth in 1947, then the whole family of 3 on the vessel from Southampton to NY in 1952, all the page of Polish people with stateless status.
I recalll a couple of years ago, in France, discussing with a very old Polish man, who never took French citizenship, and who was fighting in France during WWII, against French - I did not understood why, but he seemed have his reasons. After the WWII he was transfered with other soldiers to the UK, then back to France.
I guess that Mussbach was a large land near a river, in Germany, allocated by Allied Armies for a camp (in the sense temporary place to live, with tents), to have a place for former WWII soldiers to gather. No doubt many other camps too. Awaiting the Allied Armies find a place in the world for all those brave stateless.
Best,
Elzbieta

Lindy, start with the biggest Krakow.
See my own story (my own birth certificate) with Krakow here
http://polishorigins.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2816
I suggest you have your own birth certificate [as a proof you are a daughter, maybe something else - your documents], your ID or passeport, and make a wire-transfert of 33 PLN to their bank account (IBAN+SWIFT/BIC), then you fax all of this with your father name and birth to Krakow central USC registry. Do not forget to write clearly your email - the procedure does not allow for email, but at the end of the day, it might go by email.
The postal address, etc:

Bonne chance!
