Default 5th field regiment vehicle markings

Working on the c8 It appears to have a 5 in the middle of the diamond on the drivers door with P/4/BOM printed above the diamond
given that the vehicle came from Queensland nearing Townsville
Would i be correct in assuming it may have been atttached to the 5TH FIELD REGIMENT, ROYAL AUSTRALIAN ARTILLERY. ?
Also does any one know what the P/4/BOM may indicate ?
All help greatly appreciated
I have attached a couple of photos of the doors but it is very hard to see in the photos

Can't help you with your question, other than to say that the Ford guys will have a field day with the word "BOM" in the same post as a Chevy, however, that aside, an eagle eyed gent from the cost has noticed a Humber FV1601 in the background. Any idea what the story with it is ????
Appeared to be all sorts of interesting stuff in the background.

I bought this vehicle off a collector of anything mechanical
He has over 200 vehicles covering just about anything you care to name
Usually dosent sell anything but i did him a trade of information and dollars

As for the BOM it must have been the Ford Bomb recovery vehicle
