AWM acquisition?

'twould seem so from the information about his particular tractor that has come to light more recently. The majority of Cab 12 tractors that ended up in Australia were ex-North Africa, and arrived later. This was apparently one of a small group that arrived in the first few months of 1942.

Apparently the reference to the design shape is contained in a Mechanisation Board minute featured in Ventham and Fletcher’s Moving the guns : the mechanisation of the Royal Artillery, 1854-1939, p81. I don't have a copy of that book, so am unable to see exactly what was said, but someone on here probably has a copy. Learn something new everyday, eh?
