Wide track
Ron, I believe the Vickers light tank came with wide horned track and wide wheel / rubber. The tank at Puckapunyal has wide wheels as per Aust carrier width, but the wheel is the same (flat spoke design), but with wide rubber.
I believe this is where the original wide track came from.-Not an Aussie idea, but a Vickers Carden Loyd idea. Unfortunately, the rest of the world wasn't smart enough to adopt the it.

Ron check out the horn width on this. Also of note is the track jack. (pic. originally posted by Keith Webb.)

carrier wheels
Hello Lyn,
Thanks for the reply to my post,I see what you mean and agree with what you say regarding the track and wheels on the Vickers light tank I wonder what the Australian narrow wheels were used for? Thanks again, Regards, Ron

narrow aust.wheels
My guess is that Australia made wheels for the English or Canadian carriers that it held, when stock was not available from over seas
