Yes that's going to be a tough ask in Australia, I believe only one Field Regiment brought them here, that being 2/11 Fd. Regt. They landed in Adelaide and shipped up to Qld where they were painted two-tone camo and given ARNs, but they appear to have left them behind when they went to Darwin. Who knows what happened to them after the war, probably went the way of most FGTs into sawmills.
I remember that chassis turning up on ebay, I was all set to bid for it until Keith told me it was near you. Which is rather fortunate because I certainly don't need any more FGT headache projects!
