gday Brenton , great stuff you got there , 1:1 scale collecting , the ultimate way to go . Dont have any information that you might find helpful but maybe the 5 RAR Association may be able to help with photos from 1969 - 1970 as they were in country ? I've seen a couple of centurions up around Bruce Rock in WA . that were running . one at the Vietnam Veterans Back to The Bush gathering at Bruce Rock .they took some kids for a ride and ran over a Datsun . In October every year i think it is . Check out Wheatbelt Veterans . They should be able to put you in touch with the owner of the cents . Certainly worth keeping your tank in good order , all the best .
