Just received this pic (along with a lot more interesting shots) from Darrin Wright.
 It was taken at Monegeeta, the Australian Army's proving ground, although I don't know what era.

Hi Keith, these sites will give some insight on these tracked machines.
http://www.industrial.camoplast.com/en-CA/index.htm http://museebombardier.com/entrance.htm I work in Kingston Ontario Canada and we still have some Bombardier SW48 plows that we use to plow sidewalks. The model in your post is I think a J5 and if I remember it would be powered by a Chrysler flat six of either 251 or 265 cubic inches.

Thanks...
I thought it might be something like that.
When were these built?

I think the J5 model started in the mid fifties up to around 1969. I can't be sure of the dates because some of the models are very similar in appearance.
