Default West Australian ACCO 6x6 F1 GS

Hi Guys,i have started on getting the 6x6 organised to get it back down home here , from The wheatbelt region near Merriden in W.A.
I bought it at the same time as the Humber but as yet havent had the time to do much about it yet,my son and i removed the twin carbies,clutch master and slave cyls and both brake master cyls this last long weekend and will clean and re-kit them and refit to truck just so it can be moved about a bit easier.
Holden type stromberg carbs with a different top to suit air cleaner setup,they sit side by side rather than facing forward like Holden manifold style.Banjo type needle and seats i have not seen before,are used in place of the normal in-line passenger car type,and i have yet to see if they are available or used on anything else that was common once,does anyone know of or had to locate these anywhere else EG Covs ,Repco etc as to where they may be found?.
Chassis no 3837 1973 model "Truck,cargo,5ton, GS,w/winch,F1" which should put ARN as 25-209.
Bit of rust here and there but not overly bad,still has its drop sides but no canvas bows for rear ,was registered and on the road up until about 6 yrs ago but has definately suffered from lack of use and sitting in the weather for a good spell.
Any info or leads to find unit , TAC plate numbers etc -- there is 1 TAC plate attached showing 55 on an all red background by the looks of it (may not be original to this vehicle) or even Army in origin --, if it went to Vietnam? and so on would be appreciated,i am trying to find the link to AWM disposal records but have forgotten how to get there.
When i remember my password i will be checking in on the Inter Chapter of the REMLR site

Have to resize the photos tomorrow and will post when my patient wife has done this for me.
Cheers John
