As planted and on the edge of sports-fields, I am considering alternative species identification candidates' possibilities of exotic alien _Ficus_ spp. .

Really looks like _Ficus macrophylla_ and IMHO this remains the most likely species identification.
_Ficus macrophylla_ trees commonly get planted too, of course.

Ficus (genus)

Yes looks like _Alphitonia excelsa_ or a different _Alphitonia_ species such as _A. petriei_ .

Confirming this does not identify to a _Ficus_ species.
For example check these photographs for _Ficus_ stipules, quite different to _Alphitonia_ stipules .
And yes are these leaves' undersides white ?

Added photo of the branchlets from one of the young trees, progeny of the original tree now shown in the third photo.

I wouldn't think they would be high priority for removal.
