Knowing nothing about the Australian Dingo, I have been doing some online research. Hanno, I see that you have referred to the Ford/M-H Dingop before.

When further studying the parts list, I was triggered by the index (see pic below). As no cab or body parts or reference to them are listed, one can deduct this spare parts list relates to a kit of chassis and running gear parts supplied to an overseas plant for incorporation in a local design. Apart from a desgin like the Australian Dingo, this kit of parts could very well have been supplied to South Africa for use in the manufacture of the
South African Reconnaissance Car, Mark II and III!
