No, the Aust which kit was used as a retrofit and I believe the whole kit was made here including the winch.

The thing which makes the FGT more interesting (and I believe the CGT also) was the chassis came here as a complete kit with winch fitted. The Canadian winches have a guard fitted which local ones do not and also the front fairleads are quite different, incorporating the towing D on Ford gun tractors.
