ID this AFV relic

Not much to go on, but can anyone ID this Range Target "Somewhere in Australia"? I initially thought Vickers Light Tank due to the small size, but the armour plate appears to be the wrong shape.

Tony,

Pretty certain it is,.....or was, a Saracen. Good ID points are hubs, shape of lower hull, remains of lower door hinge, one of the little side flaps is laying in the foreground.

Ah yes, now you mention it and very familiar steering swivel top and torsion bar adjusters I think.
