James, have a look at Anzac Steel which has a good article by Laurie Wright on the subject.
This pic is of course a Ford but a similar shape.

Not only that...
Quote:
The picture was taken at Bandiana. You'll find many of the 'official' pictures were either taken at Bandiana, Monegeeta or Wesley College in Melbourne, with smaller numbers taken at Puckapunyal, GM-H at Fishermens Bend and even a few at Kensington in Melbourne.
