Thanks for sharing your photos.
As Bruce noted the sheild and firing platform both missing from the 25.
The tank is a Mk2.
I have been searching for a photo of the chev "Indian patten" truck and now know what the rear tray would have looked like, bloody ugly.

Default water truck
The water truck is very similar to the one 2/9th Field Reg used in the middle east. Like the 7 ton recovery trailer the chev is almost on.

This truck is a Ford MCP, while KiwiQuad's first pic is a Chev, but the rear bodies are the same. Even thought it was the identical same truck at first!
