Luke, I have no idea, but it leans toward British or European, imho.

G'day Luke,
the "LMLtd" stands for Leyland Motors Limited. See attached image. It is stamped or cast on every part of the remains of an early solid-rubber tyre Leyland truck I have. Your radiator is reminiscent of a Matilda tank radiator - but is far too small and has the wrong fittings. Jared |

Too small for a retriever?

It looks too short for a Retriever rad. I was going to suggest Matilda, but Jared would know what they were like. What strikes me is no visible filler, so that is why I thought tank as it could be mounted horizontal.

Radiator or oil cooler?
It is definitely a radiator and not an oil cooler? It seems to have attributes of both.

Rad
Cheers all
Im pretty sure its a radiator, looking through the ports i cant see any trace of sludge or oil but it does have that thin layer of corrosion like a used radiator has. |

It does look small, judging by the aerosol can. An oil cooler wouldn't have those fittings. It will be a radiator. It would have to be part of a tandem radiator set up, or has a remote filler in the top. The little fitting would be an air bleed line? It is not Vickers LT, or Valentine. Is it too small for the likes of the Cruiser tanks (I am only stabbing in the dark, as I have no idea if Leyland ML was involved)
Does that prompt anything Richard? What about a power pack of some sort? Just my thoughts.

I was trying to think what might have been used by Australian Army. Matilda came to mind as some were fitted with Leyland engines although I do not know what the rads looked like. Pretty sure it is not a Vickers Lt Tank one having worked on one.

Rad
Could it be postwar, and or off something small like a generator or pump trailer?

Richard, Luke, definitely not Vickers MVIa anyhow. I have looked at photos.
