I don't fully remember the circumstances of the formation sign on that truck ... it is a long time ago that it was purchased from a Victorian enthusiast. The truck was in Castlemaine as the 'spare' at a factory before he purchased and restored it including a repaint. After several years driving, he agreed to selling it to the AWM. I seem to remember that there were remains of the formation sign that he then reproduced.
The canvas is also an original WW2 canopy that came with it when he bought it, although I think marked to another truck type.
Nice, original truck with a low mileage. It was a very worthwhile acquisition.
