Richard, that was good reading and the possibilities are now becoming endless. I have sent some information off to the RN history section dealing with MONAB in Australia and hope some light will come from this. Some of these bases were in Australia for years after the war and could have even picked this truck up then.
I found the picture I was trying to find that had a number with RN on it and it was on a thread from here:
