Doug,
I have just dug out my guide book from Pucka' and you are right, they also have a Covenanter bridgelayer. According to the book, 8 of these bridgelayers were sent to Australia in 1943 and were used on active service on three occasions, at Bougainville, Balikpapan and Labuan.
It was the gun tank only, that did not see action.
