Default Aust prototype tank

A very good friend of mine gave me a few photo's that he took himself many years ago. It is a small prototype tank that I have never seen before. Perhaps someone might shed some light on it and perhaps if it is still around somewhere. The last photo says Bandiana on the back

Default Mystery Tank

Do you mean the Vickers Medium Mk II in the background or the light tank in the foreground?

Will this be the American two man tank that a forum member retrieved a trans for, some years back?

I see a Churchill with its front dust guard raised and a Covenantor bridgelayer without its bridge.
