Default Serial #

Thanks for that one! I know of serial # 3844335064 which may have been built the same day or the day before on the lines at Oshawa, Ontario! It appears that the chassis was assembled by Holden's and I wonder if it was in the Adelaide plant as they did not it seems use "A" which was their plant code, whereas Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney used "B", "M", "P" and "S" respectively. However each plant had its own mind as to how the designation should be applied or not, so don;t quote me therefore!

Default Research Enterprises trucks

I think of Research Enterprises as a wartime group set up to develop radio and radar systems in support of the war effort. One of their projects had several groups of FWD trucks modified to make radar stations (generator, equipment, operators seating etc.).
This suggests that your C60L might have been a truck used in support of one of these radar setups, either GS or a specially adapted variant.
I know some of the group here have more information than I do on Radar support vehicles, perhaps they can help.
These two websites give a little information on REL:
