The compliance plat is the silver thing on the firewall behind the air cleaner.
The silver and black sticker on the air cleaner says "Donaldson Cyclopac" and gives the specification and instructions for the filter and the housing and filters(s) PNs. Surely you have one on yours?
EDIT: Jon - thanks for that!
Just had a quick look at my magazine stash and found the article in question. It estimates that 80 or 90 6x6's were made by JRA for the Civilian market - all normal width. Apparently the wide body version was not offered to the civilian market due to the high cost of making the wide body models.
Of the army 6x6's, 400 were ordered under project Perentie and more later in the mid 90's under project Bushranger. I would think that JRA only went to all the trouble of making the wide bodied 6x6's that the army requested as the remainder of the Perentie contract was for 2500 one tonne 4x4 110's -in total the contract was worth $150 million according to the magazine article.

Mine's got the silver compliance plate in the same spot (firewall) but no sticker on the air cleaner unit at all.
I thought it might have been a mod plate for the 6x6 "factory conversion". anyway, thanks for the clarification, I feel like a bit of a dill now :(
Thanks for the info!
Hmm - those numbers suggest they were only paying 50k odd per vehicle...
May have been right though as a civvie 110 was only $22k in 1984. I heard that they were lore like $130k each though - but that may have been the extra batch that was ordered in the early '90's.
