Jacques ,yes you could be right re the removal of bodies i have never seen any remnant of what looks to be an orig body on any old CMP.
Years ago i used to deliver farm fuel supplies and got to see what cockys (farmers) had in their little scrap piles under the tree up the back fence,piles of various broken down/old machinery and chunks of steel off something or other that they NEVER throw out or sell,i know ive tried to buy some stuff but they insist they will need it some day to patch up something else with.(they never do!)but then come the day to sell off the farm they have a clearing sale and it all goes relatively cheaply.(my semi sincere apologies to any farmers)
Robert,your unit is what i would consider a good barn find (whether it was in an actual barn or sitting in the middle of a paddock is irrelevent) i think barn find in Australia means more to as somethings overall condition in general than actually being in a barn and would be the "minimum" cond that I personally would consider taking one on as a restoration as it appears to have most bits and pieces still attached( a bit like our Humbers).
