Here's a larger print of the same picture of this F15.

Note the wooden planking on top of the tilt, the air recognition roundel and sun compass bracket on the roof.

Have a look at the extensive mine damage - I reckon the driver did not survive the blast, albeit not without grave injuries...

My old F15A (ex Ken Hughes yard) which was sold back to Qld (Richard, he is a member here on MLU) was an office body according to its ARN.

I shall try to find and post the information I got when searching the Australian National Archives on the Office Body types.

From memory, there was a 1 and 2 version to the 15cwt, and (for lack of comparison), I might recall correctly a difference between the F15, F15A and F60.

In original fitment of canvas, it would have made for a great rally/camping vehicle!!!
