Rover survey vehicle

3 Attachment(s)

At least one Commonwealth Rover was fitted with Bofors gun carriage rims , the rim centre is machined out in order to fit over the Land Rover hubs. I have a few rims for the Morris PU that have been butchered like that.

The Land Rover has the same wheel bolt pattern as the Morris PU and Bofors gun.

See Chapter 2 of 'Tough Truck: Australian Army Land Rovers 1949 to 2012' for the details of why, when and where.
