Ian,
Sorry for getting off on the wrong foot with my "beg, steal and borrow" remark. What I meant to address is the very practice you describe. I should have used Alex´s wording "barter .. swap .. exchange" as I did not mean to be negative about this practice about which I think we agree is necessary to keep an Army on its feet.
Attached below is another photo from the Australian War Memorial Photograph Database. I have no details about this picture, so I do not know if it was actually used by the Australian armed forces or whether this is an American M151 pictured by an Australian soldier.
