If you study those pics I posted , everything in those machinery bodies seems to be nice and new , the machinery isn't old and dirty . I'd say the Govt. ordered and purchased brand new locally made equipment for those machinery bodies at the time.

Some new machinery was imported during the war, but we were mostly self reliant . Reading the GMH WAR RECORD is an eye opener , tooling was in critically short supply and GMH was dragging old lathes out of rubbish tips and re conditioning them .
