I had a 128 years ago and still have 31s in my collection. Great little sets. Always wanted the original US set some day.

Hi Phill

Like yourself, I've come across a few examples of the 31 set AFV . I passed a set onto our mutual friend in Adelaide.

The Australian Army must have used the AFV version , but I'm not sure in what context. There was a version mounted in the early British army Land Rovers .

The 128 is a neat little set, and unique to Australia, being wholly designed and built here, and it was deployed in the Korean conflict. Link to a 128 https://www.tuberadio.com/ws128/128.html

A ham friend had a 128 on the air and we had a QSO from Melbourne to Tasmania when I was down there.

Forgot to mention: I believe the French also built the SCR 300 post war.
