    Treads,
    well done, welcome to the "pack" REMLR application/membership is free and downloadable (check it out!)

    I see that you have a photo of the engine number, and by looking at it you
    can see that that particular fleet is obviously fitted with the self lubricating chassis system......

    seriously though the series 2 was the first model brought in to service in the aussie army in any numbers and set the pace for a continuing service history up to and including today...just that alone should make it worth fixing!.
    (refer history s2 on remlr!) (including some when new delivery photos!!)

    and secondly olive drab is an easier paint finish to achieve!!

    cheers

    G'day Treads

    That's a nice complete early Series 2 Command Reconnaissance,(census 6005) those cups are the standard rear lamp protective cups fitted or retrofitted to all military Series 2/2a Landrovers, the rear light lens are the correct original type and those lens are still available through specialist outlets like KB Classic Parts in Qld, the left front is the original blinker light (getting rare now) and the front parker lamp was a Lucas round one with a chrome ring and 2 screws same as the blinker but with a flatish glass lens,this vehicle may not have been fitted with a brush (bull) bar of military design but that one looks like a homemade post service build, it appears to be fitted with an Alternator which is Negative Earth, these vehicles were originally built as Positive Earth so if the instrument wires haven't been changed over the guages will read incorrectly, all is easily repairable all-in-all you have got yourself a nice complete historic vehicle, if you are in the area of Dinty check out his Command Recon from the same contract (I think) It would have been originally painted Deep Bronze Olive but would have been overpainted with Lusterless Olive Drab.

    cheers
