Surprisingly, this "Zimbabwean Bren Carrier" survives in the Gweru Military Museum in Zimbabwe, Africa.

Can anyone tell if/when the T16 was in military service in Zimbabwe?!? Reportedly, the Swiss Army sold 300 T16s to Biafra via a dealer in Toronto in 1965; could it be (some of) these ended up in Zimbabwe?

Thanks,
Hanno
