G'day Lang,
Yep, that all makes sense.
And I would love that carrier to be #42!
The ten LP1 carriers were first used by the 2/15 Battalion.
When they were posted overseas they were taken on by the 2/25 Battalion.
On their overseas posting the LP1s were taken on charge by the 19 MG Battalion.
By this stage the records show that the LP1 carriers were not in great shape due to lack of parts and other problems. They were declared obsolete very soon afterwards as large numbers of the far superior LP2 carriers were coming on strength.
