Default Fantastic find to include a Bofors and the orig tray

Do you have a pic of the stamping for the details you list? Just interested in case there is also the WO number somewhere. And the chassis number presumably has 8443... also what is the ARN I can see but not quite read on your first image?

The tray & cab were made by Holden in Melbourne, the generator is a 4 cylinder Coventry Climax 7.5hp & the searchlight was made by General Electric Australia & stamped Beach Defence 1942.
I only have the chassis number because the alloy ID plates suffered due to being on the beach during the war. the only other ID is C60L Heavy AA/Beach Defence 1942 AA/H.- stamped both on truck & tray.
