Default AWM what RAN records do they hold?

This is a question our Aussie guru Mike Cecil will likely know but others may have answers.

Most importantly I am very grateful what ever information comes to light.

In 1950 the RAN purchased a number of 80" Land Rovers and many of these were carried on HMA Ships (see AWM HMAS Queenborough and HMAS Quadrant images below)





There is also an image of a Land Rover 80" on HMAS Tobruk serving in the Korean war zone which I do not have a link.

So the question is, does the AWM have records that may list the serial number of any Land Rover assigned to the ship?

I have already researched and uncovered the chassis numbers of the vehicles sold to the Dept of the Navy from the records of NSW Distributor Grenville Motors Sydney and it would be nice to match these vehicles and the ships they served on. Particularly if they are Korean War veterans.
