Pictures would help, and the only absolute way of determining age would be the chassis number. If, as it appears from the description to be a late 2a (post 69) Australian army model, the number will be on the LH back rear spring hanger, the flat vertical bit just above where the shackle is attached. You may need to sand the paint off to see it. Should also be on a plate on the firewall in front of the gear lever, and there should also be a plate on the LH end of the seat box - but these are screwed on and may be missing or off another vehicle.

Probably well worth $100, if only for parts!

That’s not worth $100, I will help you out and give you back the hundred you spent on it and give you another hundred for your effort getting it home.
