Default Formation sign
Mike

Palm tree & crocodile over boomerang:

Wartime (black and white) formation sign: 4 Aust Armoured Brigade Group (1943-45).
Post-war (coloured) 1st Armd Brigade (CMF) (1950s -NSW based).

Ref. engine number GPW247722. If the jeep was supplied to Australia with the engine/chassis number matching (rather than as a US-rebuild/reconditioned vehicle), then the engine was originally fitted to ARN 164068, which is shown with two engine changes while in service. So your engine would have entered a rebuild line somewhere, then was later re-issued for installation in another vehicle. Have not been able to locate any GPW chassis numbers of 11X370 (ten possibilities).
