Thanks Mike for the input, I have been doing research but my time & access to reference material is a bit limited, so really appreciate your information.

So that I can learn and be corrected, I was going to paint the following unit markings for the following reasons:

Unit marking brown square and white 82
Because the 10th & 48th Inf Batt belonged to the 3rd Inf Bde and their seniority within the 4th Inf Div. I understand it to be the most senior Brigade to be red, then 2nd Brigade to be green and then the less senior Brigade to be brown.
The 82 is a bit of a guess; however, I do have a pic form the AWM that shows (attached pic) what appears to be a 82 or 62 on the left guard. Also in the pic is the mortar base plate stowed on the RH guard in front of the driver.

Formation marking was the Echidna (white) over the Boomerang on a black square as that was the 4th Inf Div sign and they possible kept it while rotating through Darwin and the NT.


I purchased your book so that I could get the USN information for the 10/48 Inf Batt.
I thought of placing this info on the bulkhead above the gunners seat position in the front, this appears to be a common place on BGC for shipping and auction information.

On a side note, the BGC in the pic from the AWM has 33 painted on the side of it, this would be the vehicle call sign, I know of another BGC that is converted to the Mortar Carrying role that has 32 on the side, while my vehicle never had the large numerals painted on it, I think my call sign was M31.
This is painted white on a black rectangle with a coloured arrow pointed up ( I have no idea what the arrow means???).

Thoughts?
