Default #5 & #7 M/H (Aust) Field Artillery Tractors

In correspondence with a friend he sent me the photo below of a #5 M/H 6X6 FAT. Now these trucks were used to tow the 3inch 20cwt AA guns and once these guns were obsolete he believes the trucks were repurposed to other duties such as the Topographical trucks in the photo below.

Now can anyone help me with information on these #5 and #7 trucks? Photos would be handy but info like 'Did they have a winch?' etc would be nice as well.

Thanks in advance
