Smile Aec "dorchester" armoured command vehicle

I have just started making this AFV 1/35 scale vehicle with full interior including a #19 radio and while reading the instructions I found that 7 of these vehicles were given to the Australian Forces in the Middle East to use during the battles fought there.

Now I have several questions about this so if Mike Cecil or other knowledgable folk out there can help I'd appreciate it.

Did the Australians accually have these and were they marked with Australian Formation signs and numbers?

Is there anywhere on line or otherwise that show photos of these vehicles in Australian Service?

Any help appreciated

The AEC Command vehicles were based on the AEC Matador and I believe AFV models is going to bring out a Matador kit as well later in the year and if it is as good as this kit it will be a winner
