Hi mate. The Australians used DUKW's mainly and these were painted in American Olive Drab with Australian markings which were mainly serial numbers on the sides and stern. I have no Data on the Australian or New Zealand forces using Lvt4's during this time. :-)

I don't have any direct info but you might try this site. http://anzacsteel.hobbyvista.com/ I couldn't find the Lvt4 listed but there is an email you could try on there.

We did not use LVT4's in battle mate, American Army owned and crewed "Buffalo" tracked amphibious vehicles took Australian forces ashore in Balikpapan and Tarakan in early/mid 1945.

If you want to see some good images, try my civilian employers site - the Australian War Memorial photo database. They are linked below. Put in search entries like Balikpapan and you should get some interesting images come up.

Best of luck!
Ciao!
