This nomenclature plate is also attached to Liz Martin's C15 but it can't belong, being a plate from a C15A

Chevrolet C60S fitted with winch. It has a tipper body on it but, despite it's looks I don't think it is military.

It's data plate says it is fitted with a WO78 body which I believe is a No. 6 gun Tractor.

Diamond T Model 980 prime mover. These were fitted with a 165 bhp Hercules DXFE diesel engine and in military service usually towed a 45 tank transporter trailer.

"Bertha" is also a Diamond T Model 980. She was purchased by a Northern Territory legend named Kurt Johannsen after the war. He stretched Bertha's chassis and fitted a 20' long cattle crate. Bertha usually towed two or three self tracking trailers of Johannsen's own design and thus became one of the pioneers of Australia's famous road trains.
