Carrier Markings
The carrier has some interesting markings on it as can be seen in the first photo above.
The first photo below is the marking located on the front armour next to the front MG port. I initially thought it was a greyhound over a boomerang but the greyhound looks a lot different to the greyhound on the 1st Australian Cavalry Division tactical sign. It has been suggested by a couple of people that it may be a dingo or Tasmanian tiger over a boomerang but neither of these are identified in Formation Signs and Vehicle Marking of the Australian Army book by Taubert.
Although diffcult to see there is an "80" stencilled on to the front sloping armour below the unit marking.
The carrier is lined up as a future restoration project with many of the critical missing parts already acquired (although we are still chasing at least one length of track)
