LP2 carrier in Darwin

The 5 spoke road wheels are reasonably common up in these parts. I assume that they were supplied as a batch of spares later in the war as carrier wrecks and bogies that I have come across here have them fitted randomly in all the different road wheel positions.

Jared, has that pile of carrier wheels and bogies in Darwin been scrapped yet? Could you post a scan of that pic, as I think it would make many blokes cry. (Before we get too misty eyed, the rubber had rotted in the tropical sun and most of the moving bits had rusted and seized, but BOY what a stack of spares gone to waste!!)
