The record
REMLR (the Register of Ex-Military Land Rovers, Australia) published four 1983 photographs from Jack Withers, via Peter H, of two Royal Australian Navy Series III Stage 1 utilities at the Beecroft weapons range on the New South Wales coast. Both had the 3.5-litre V8 of the Stage 1 and carried a fire pallet in the tub for range fire duties; both ran Sunraysia rims with sand tyres for the beach clearance work at the range. One is registered ZWD-177; the other, ZND-559, wears a white replacement roof after a roll-over, flares like those of the Series III Game and an army-style brush guard. The REMLR page is now behind a bot check, so only its thumbnail and text could be consulted.
The registry's model is the Stage 1 cab-top ute ZWD-177 in RAN blue-grey with the brush guard, white Sunraysia rims and a pallet carrying a red pump, hose reel and water tank in the tub; in the game the pallet drops as cargo and the ute carries water-pool pickups.
