I have no records of the RAN receiving any, at least not by legal inter-service transfer!

There were also examples in use with RNEI Forces in Australia: I remember seeing one, a winch model 3/4 ton Weapon Carrier, in a shed in Qld around 2005, battered but very restorable, with RNEIAF markings.

Would the latter be this one? http://mapleleafup.net/forums/showthread.php?t=8642

Can you explain the blue colour? It must have been a colour available for painting aircraft, used by the ground crews to tart up their truck..
