The 77 set would have been long gone in regular force/2VP service by 2004. There may have been some still in reserve force service, or languishing in backrooms, but the TCCCs was in sometime in 2001/2002.
Some of the advance party elements of 2VP started showing up in 2002, so it was close, but they did not even have a building yet, so I doubt they would have dragged legacy equipment to here. I was with 1RCHA at the time, and we had a portion of a warehouse full of the older radio stuff that was not on charge. The QM finally had a scrap metal bin brought in and it all went to the local scrapyard.
