Default Pressure lantern

Something different. I recently found an old kero pressure lantern and after a bit of googling I found some background.

Wondering if these were used by the Aust. military in WW2 , after a quick AWM search I found a pic of one in use at Noemfoor 1944. The advert is from 1941.

Appears that these Austramax lanterns are still in production at Brunswick and very little has changed design wise since 1941 !
