Or maybe not.
The NZ army never really had much of a variety in vehicles. The only things that were running around in the 60's and 70's that spring to mind were RL Bedfords, Landrovers, Ferret's, Scorpions, M113's, M41's and M816/818's. It's possible that some engine driven plant or the odd one off vehicle used the engine types mentioned (they also had some Lees rough terrain forklifts as an example). I guess it's also possible that they received some incorrect spares for the M113's which simply sat on a shelf for years.
