Dianaa, when I was an army apprentice, 4th Medium Battery received 6 new 6x6 G.S. Inters, as gun tractors to tow the 5.5's. As far as I recall they were always called Mk.V's.
(The N.Z. army had dumpers as well, but don't recall when they arrived, as I was based in a different area)
These 6 arrived brand new, fitted with CMP mirrors (small, curved, rectangular)
(I mentioned this to Tony Smith years ago on here) Those mirrors all found their way into the rubbish bins really quickly.(some via me as the mechanic) ( 3 or 4 years ago I bought 2 from Argentina at about $70.00 each!)
Anyhow when I was posted to Singapore in may 75 we (the kiwis) had 4x4 Inters, Ex the Australian forces, from when Australia withdrew.
I really don't recall what the 4x4s were called. I thought they were MkIIs.
What defined the Mk?
