As the frame in question was supposed to have come from Puckapunyal, a large army tank base, my thought was it was used in connection with tank engines, either as a transit frame or for working on the engine. It may be an aircraft engine mounting, but it could have been utilised in conjunction with tank engines while out of the vehicle.

The tank radial frame stays on the engine and the aircraft mount would not be much use for normal servicing.

Thanks Adrian, it was just a thought.

It looks a lot like a Stuart turret stand.
