Unidentified Australian Women's Army Service personnel sitting in a Studebaker, M29 Weasel, tracked amphibious cargo carrier. Both vehicles have been finished in alpine camouflage and bear the Army Registration numbers 145623 and 139999.

Mike,
Both Aussi weasels have been found and are in the hands of a fellow weasel restorer/collector. 13999 has been resurrected from the ashes using a donor hull and 145623 is yet to be restored as it was only found and recovered in 2019. The first photo shows 13999 as found and the second photo shows the hull repairs completed. The last photo shows 145623 as found. Here is a youtube link to 13999's hull after repairs;
