I'd rather have an M3, this could be a Scout Car, Half Track, Light Tank or a .45 SMG.

This raises an interesting question. Many unique Aussie bits have "F" prefixes: F1 SMG, F88 Rifle, F89 LMG, F1 to F5 ACCO trucks, F1 Ammo, F1 Grenade. The Canadian system uses "C" and the US "M". Was there an agreement along the lines of the NSN parts numbering system to allocate letters to various countries?
