The story is correct, and I had seen the vechicle personally.
We also were loaned the much later model when we were operating out of Vung Tau, on operation wintergrip.
When we went to return the vehicle the yank said no way, we wrote it off, I am not bringing it back on charge.
"Our Jeep" at least retained its US markings as this one does appear to have.
We were going to bring it back on the last C130 uplift, and use it on the flight line at Richmond.
Boss was flying the airplane and said no way.
Shortly after that the RAAF issued an instruction that no foriegn vehicles were to be brought back
