Hi Matt - unfortunately Greta wasn't one of the names. I see on the door it belonged to the 2nd Armoured Regiment. I'll have to dig out my history as to when the 1st and 2nd Armoured Car Regiments changed to the Armoured Regiments.

The list of the 18 armoured cars along with their believed deployment is as follows:

LP-1
• DD-220 - Corroboree (Ned Kelly)
• 1st Armoured Car Regiment, Horsham, Vic.

LP-2
• DD-221 - Billabong
• DD-222 - Boomerang
• both to the 1st Armoured Car Regiment, Horsham, Vic. However a photograph of Billabong, on exercise in 1940 at Glenfield, NSW, suggests either a joint exercise between the 1st & 2nd A/C Regiments or re-deployment to the 2nd.

LP-3
• C-314 - Crow
• C-315 - Curlew
• C-316 - Cockatoo
• C-317 - Stingray
• C-318 - Starfish
• C-319 - Snake
• all believed to the 1st and some later to the 2nd Armoured Car Regiment, Ashfield, NSW.

LP-4
• C-6278 - Devil
• C-6279 - Dingo
• C-6280 - Bandicoot
• C-6281 - Porcupine
• C-6282 - Possum
• C-6283 - Pelican
• C-6284 - Wolf
• C-6285 - Wattle
• C-6286 - Warpath
• all believed to the 1st Armoured Car Regiment in Horsham.
