I am unable to cross-check if either of these ARNs served in SVN, but will be able to do so next week when I get back to the office.

I know it's not quite this thread, but are you able to confirm if 88" RCL Land Rover ARN 112-723 served in SVN? I came across a comment on the internet suggesting another website made a statement that it did, but the link to the site is now broken so I am left with a hint that it did but no confirmation. (Maybe I don't want to know if it didn't!)
Also my Mk3 ARN 170-437, but considering it still has an original Mk3 cab I rather suspect it didn't go to SVN. One thing that is odd about the truck is that it has personal markings on the drivers door over the deep bronze green and under the olive drab, so definitely applied early in service. I thought door markings on soft skinned vehicles was a no no? At least in RASC/RACT or infantry. Any idea what unit it may have been? There has been a suggestion of one of the reserve cav squadrons 8/13 VMR or 4/19 PWLH out of Watsonia in Victoria.
The markings are a pair of daggers or Scottish derks points togther. The words above "The Derkers" and the words "Brash" and "Walshy" below and either side of the daggers.
