Good find. Have a look at the rear end of the chassis rails, the T212 had those unusual eye towing devices

The wheels on your truck may have been changed back to the US type, but I believe the T212 had special brake drums to accept the 6 stud C8A type rims .

A chap in Brisbane did a T212 , I passed on the rear body drawings to him. I think he had new drums cast , he had the truck at Corowa one year.

Is the RH chassis rail drilled for the steering box ? Hard to see from your pics

Has the instrument panel been relocated ? I had a couple of US 1/2 Tonners with RHD conversions done by previous butchers , they usually cut out the rectangular instrument panel, remove the glove compartment door and weld the instrument panel over the glove compartment
