Any ex-swabbies out there have any idea of the manufacturer of this crane?

CHIMO! Derek.

Derrek.
That appears to be a C 60S wrecker..with the swabbie to the far right,sitting on the torpedo with his legs in the front window,drivers side..the hoist is definably C60S hoisting gear..with mod brackets to carry the torp..
Seems doable to me..
