A quick look through Mike Cecil's excellent book suggests that 251 Model 8446 chassis were delivered to Australia. Not included were 131 chassis shipped aboard the SS Port Montreal which was sunk by enemy action enroute to Australia.

Mike lists a couple of Rhino chassis and engine numbers

Chassis # 2844600001, Engine # 270-175044, ARN 74363
Chassis # 2844600027, Engine # 270-175045, ARN 141744

Information from AUSTRALIAN MILITARY EQUIPMENT PROFILES, VOL 3, AUSTRALIAN SCOUT AND ARMOURED CARS 1933 TO 1945, ISBN 0 646 14611 4
