Now this raises an interesting question! As I am under the understanding that these tanks were made in 1936 as stamped on quite a few panels and the engine, but we never received the ten in Australia until 1939.
The date on the wheel looks to be 1938. So! were they made to aust specs in England prior to shipping, or were they made in Australia before they came here and changed once they arrived or needed replacing.
The Chicken or the Egg. I will have a close look at the other wheels to see if there is a clearer date.
