Australian translation requested
"Mulga pushing, delving, snigging, ploughing and for providing sationary power for saw bench."
Ploughing is obvious. Stationary engine is obvious. CANAUSGBRUSANZL - five nations separated by a common language.

Mulga pushing, clearing land of shrubby bush to make way for pasture.
Delving, ripping to dig remaining stumps and roots up. Snigging, towing logs to a mill or saw bench etc.

What to do?
G'Day Rob,
Not that I expect my opinion to bear much weight, (it doesn't at home!), but... I share your pain with the decision... I still have not decided which path to take with my F15. (wartime Vs post-war usage). Obviously, the Worth tractor is not all that common any more. So I would like to see the Tractor version survive, too. And it would be great to see it side-by-side with the Strikland version one day!  My two bob's worth. Howard

Perspective
Look at this way... if you had a barn find uncut carrier it would be heinous to cut it down to make a replica of a post-war conversion, but starting from something like you have I'd say it's a completely appropriate course of action.

worths tractor
G'day Rob
I would keep it as a worth. It's a part of our history and would make a good before and after display with your other carrier. Ps, Is that a morris 1100 speedo on your worth tractor?

Yes Luke I't's an 1100 speedo- good eyes! Have a pile of mini & Morris parts in addition to carrier & scout car in the shed...
It's staying a tractor. Means I need to find another hull to use my newly aquired armour on.... Rob
