David, does M.C.I., B.S.S.309 mean anything to you?
Is it Malleable Iron ? That is a spec for British track links from Feb.1944.
They tried all kinds of brews with Nickel etc in the early days, but settled on a std brew, I imagine the Australian link was made of a similar brew.
I can't locate any info on the pin, but recall it was heat treated?
