It was common practice by the NZ forces to cut back the front guards on those sent to Tonga, Fiji and here at home, also a number were sent to Guadacanal as mentioned in a previous thread. As per Keiths picture if its Papua New Guinea wouldn't they be Australian ?

Actually Lynn, the carrier on the right is a Scout and the rest clearly Early Bren carriers.

Actually Philip they are not so clearly, all Scout carriers.
What appears to be a frame on the side of the second one is actually the box. The rear edge of the left side armour is indiscernable, and blends with the rear engine cover.

Lynn you are of course correct! My tiny Iphone screen sometimes makes it hard to zoom in on details.
I can't make out any numbers or markings on the carriers at this end - can you ? Cheers Phill

Phillip
No, nothing anywhere, other than the "4" on the tac sign. Does anyone understand or recognise the reference numbers?
Do they direct us to a currently accessable photo archive?
