To help with a few answers:

(1) the M113A1 hull was 134199: mine damaged in Vietnam (crew commander KIA), returned to Australia, stripped and sold at auction from 2 BOD, Moorebank. Now at the Army Tank Museum, Puckapunyal.
(2) John has retained 134711, the M113A1 FSV.
(3) The 'Jap Tank' is a Type 95 Ha Go, and is indeed the one under restoration at the AWM. I was the curator that organised the purchase and conducted the bulk of the research prior to restoration commencing. Many of the repro and some original parts have been sourced out of the UK. I saw it in Novembner during my visit to Oz: the guys are doing an outstanding job.
(4) The Stuart with Grant turret and 17pdr barrel was indeed a mock-up for the Muirs store advert: good memory, Mike K!
(6) The Yeramba pictured is now at the Army Tank Museum, swapped several years ago. John then built up another one from a cut-down hull. The man is quite amazing!

Nice pics: brings back plenty of memories, as I'm sure it did for Mike K as well.

Regards

Mike C
