What about 2/8th tanks Gina? This unit served with 3rd Armd Div from Nov '42 through April '43, before relieving 2/6th in NG. Presumably they would have left their Grants behind...?

I believe these Grants seen at Homebush are in their original camo. Much the same pattern seen below in Jan '43. I wonder if 13 in the formation sign position is significant.
