The lay out is to all intents and purposes the same. but things are different behind the rear plate, so Big Mike needs his adjustment info from the Canadian (or Brit) carrier manual. The main differences are;
The parts mounted on the removable plate in the Aust carriers are direct to the floor in the Eng/Can carriers
Your brake (and clutch pedal are round in section. Mike's will have a flat plated pedal
Your pivot points are spigoted to the floorand welded
Mikes are on triangular plates and held with c/sunk screws.
Yours is all UNF, Mikes is all BSF.
A very few parts will interchange (Cam plate rollers will)
To apply the brakes on the Aust carrier requires a forward pull at the back plate whereas the Eng/Can carriers have bisectors requiring a pull toward the centre of the axle.
