Tony,
Excellent advice here from your now-fellow countrymen. Many restorers back in your old home country prefer to restore their Jeeps as "one of those used by our liberators" and then they run off and paint it up in US 82 or 101AB Div. markings
If someone is adamant on using US markings I often try to point out there are more possibilities than OD plus white stars - see attachment.
Your Jeep is looking great and "going Aussie" is an excellent choice.
Regards,
Hanno
