Does anyone have a pic showing where the wiring for the searchlight enters the turret on Australia's Vietnam centurion? I can't seem to find a picture to see where it plugs in or enters the turret. Thanks

The searchlight cable socket on the turret would be common to any Centurion that used it.

If you don't find what you are looking for in the previous links provided trying searching for images of British and Canadian Centurions in addition to Aussie Mk.5/1s.
