For home theatre use they were usually fitted with the No. 11 set ( Aust.) of which, approx. 6000 were built by AWA in Sydney , beginning late 1941 and on into 1942. The LP carriers despatched to the Middle East would possibly also have been fitted with British sets eg, the No. 11 and 19 , while in use there.
Before making the 11 set, AWA was manufacturing the 101 field set ..don't know if it was ever installed in a carrier ...probably was done on a ad hoc basis.
I have seen a AWM pic of a 109 set , 1500 made by STC Sydney 1939-42, in a LP1 carrier , but only in a training role. Type in 'rokeby' in the AWM pic search engine and you'll see it.
The 11 set required a 12v supply and I dont know how they managed that in the carriers ..does anyone know ?
