Apparently the configuration of the army vehicles differed from the civilian line up.
This is the official Australian Army Registrations book showing my Chev, M-15, with engine number R1992353, a 5 passenger car, left from Melbourne with the 1st Contingent for the Middle East. It is a Chevrolet Pullman Ridemaster Deluxe. So I guess only the best will do for HQ 17th Brigade .
