Default Background Mystery Vehicle?

A question for Mike Kelly from the pictures you first posted. I see what is probably a MK3 Covenanter gun Tank parked next to the Carrier in image 379/08 . I thought the only Covenanter Tanks in Australia were Bridge layers,
have you come across other pictures that show the Covenanter in Australia?
Thanks Andrew.

Just a guess. Maybe they were shipped out with the turret and then subsequently converted into bridge-layers ?

Default Crusader Mk.1

The tank to the left of the carrier is a British Cruiser Tank Mk.6-Crusader Mk.1. It was purchased as an example of modern armour for use as a reference sample in the development of the Australian tank. It arrived in August 1941.
