The truck in the pic from REMLR with the land rover (I have a larger version of this from the photographers son who gave us the pics if you want it) is a leyland if I recall.

MM, got me there, I was thinking Leyland Contractor, but checking a photo from bandiana, nope!!! Interesting there is a photo of a scammel on the below page with a patton tank that looks identical to the one I have of a contractor, same vehicle?
here is the larger version on REMLR http://www.remlr.com/vietnoelp.html  whatever it is it is the same as the semis in this photo (Sorry about the big pics.

Ok, i'm told that these semi's are diamond Reos which were used in the 70's and 80's for long distance transport. and that 85 Transport Squadron based at Moorebank used them for many years.

Hi Richard,
Is that Landy in your pic SWB and FFR? Never seen an army shorty with the seat in the back. Rich

SWB yes, FFR, perhaps (looks like 25 or 77 set handles in the shadows). Oficially a FFR it is not, but it may have had one in place for use.
here is another view of that vehicle. looks like it has a platform in place to hold a radio temporarily. probably to aid in recovering broken down vehciles as this was a workshops vehicle  As for the seats in the back, all 2a GS SWB land rovers had them fitted from the factory, and I think the Command Recon Series 2's did as well. here is an restored example http://www.remlr.com/sheds/ppsshed.html  an example in service  another in service in vietnam   and a command recon, brand new, never used.
