Cliff, Tony (not the real one), Can we learn anything from the TAC sign?

Default TAC sign

Only one available is the CD version. While it is not complete it is a very good guide to the Tac signs and unit markings of Australian vehicles. Some information is hard to find as well requiring reading page after page to discover the tit bits you want. Also has diagrams showing where the relavent signs/numbers were located on vehicles. Well worth the money IMHO
