"The Australian forces had some of the earlier M113s so there's a maybe?"

Just two, purchased for the original trials in the early 1960s and still exist at the Army Tank Museum.

I cannot see how (or why) any spares for these two vehicles would have made their way to New Zealand. As Tony has suggested, another application of the same basic engine is the more likely source.

Also, as Russell has observed, the label seems to suggest a 1970 order or packing date, which would be too late for spares orders for the two M113 vehicles in Australia.
