Pictured below is an early carrier issued to the 2nd Bn, 1st Div (Militia) (Vickers gun/ gunshield, tools stowed down the side). Despite being an early make, it has the track "Tail to the front".

The one question I would ask about this Carrier is, had it been through an army workshop after its manufacture. If so, then te possibility exists that the track may have been re-oriented.

BTW - a common name for the Piping Shrike is the Murray Magpie. This bird is about half the size of the common magpie and crow. As far as cooking them, the recipe is the same as for galahs. Place the bird in a pot of boiling water along with a large beach pebble. Boil until the pebble is soft, throw away the bird and bake the pebble in a pie.
