Thanks Tony, I did a search but could not find the post. Note on the data plate of Robert's C60, it has X2, so look like the contract S/M2828 was for the UK and assume part of it was sent to Australia.
I do wonder about the one in Norway, because if it was supplied after the war ended, my guess is it was equipment from the UK that they received. If the contract plate is present this will prove the point. UK did send a lot of surplus vehicles to Norway and this radar was probably being superseded by then as we had been developing our own.

Tony,

Thanks for posting that info! Are (were) they both equipped with a winch?

So we now have three known C60Ls which were delivered as part of the Gun Laying Radar convoy. Interestingly, the REL data plate only differs in the "Serial no.":

GL - MK-III CANADIAN
TRUCK no: 2
Assembly no.: ZC/C 1735
Serial no.: 164

GL - MK-III CANADIAN
TRUCK no: 2
Assembly no.: ZC/C 1735
Serial no.: 241

GL - MK-III CANADIAN
TRUCK no: 2
Assembly no.: ZC/C 1735
Serial no.: 364

Could "TRUCK no: 2" denote this is the second truck in the convoy?

Hanno,
There is one of the FWD HAR-01 trucks from a radar convoy in preservation in England and the REL plate shows it as Truck no.3, Assy no. ZC/2675. My guess is that the other FWD is Truck no.1
