I think there has been one of these C60L trucks identified in Australia. There should be a Contract number on it somewhere, all equipment was issued under contract S/M2828.

Added a better picture of the GL - MK-III CANADIAN plate, which clearly shows a REL-in-maple-leaf-logo (for Research Entreprises Limited), presumably as a sign of who converted the trucks.
The subject truck came from Norway, and is now in the Netherlands. I wonder if the plate came from another vehicle, like one of the FWD trucks which were used as tractors for the radar trailers?

Note that the C60L in the thread CMP C60L comes home does have modifications which are not present on the subject vehicle here. Plus it has a different plate attached to it:
