Here is an example of NZ Bedford RL's in Malaya, probably mid 1960's. There were British owned and NZ owned units that got swapped around a bit. Dad I recall saying had the shiny painted ones and the British ones they got temporarily swapped (Borneo?) were matt finish.
The unit on the left is a RL "pig" armoured Bedford, built by Royal Engineers? in Singapore. NZ looked to have a small fleet of these but photos seem to be a bit rare on the ground.
