Default Maralinga tests

During the British atomic bomb tests in Australia in the 50s, vehicles and aircraft were used to show the damage suffered. When testing finished, they were bulldozed and buried.
I've just found this image on a website by Rick Johnstone
There was also a Centurion and a number of Supermarine Swift aircraft shipped out from Britain.




On the left is a RAAF CMP. Has anyone else seen any pictures of these vehicles?
