It’s an Australian War Memorial film, F01234

Thought it might be of use in your rebuild.

Hi Ian,
These tanks on the film appear to be Vickers Light Tanks Mark V. The tanks that Australia had were 10 off, Mark VIA and used for training in Australia, 5 went to NSW and 5 to Victoria.
I had involvement with the restoration of one of these and researched the history of it, and it now resides in a museum collection in the USA.
regards, Richard
