SASR Land Rover

AMB is only a hop-skip-and-jump away if you attend Corowa.

Interesting that yours is a late pattern 2A with the lights in the guards, not the grill.

Could this possibly have been from machine gun? It was wedged between bulkhead and guard

^ looks like a 7.62mm round (judging by the shadow) headstamped Small Arms Ammunition Factory, Footscray . Could have been fired from a MG or rifle (but would make a good key fob to go with the truck now).

James is right - 7.62 NATO (7.62x51 mm). Marked F4 which is the Australian Ball round: see http://www.australian-munitions.com....%202pp_WEB.pdf

1982 manufacture.

So in Australia at that time, most likely to have been fired from an L1A1 rifle or GPMG M60.

As James said, nice momento.
