A bit of an odd request.
I am an ex-Mil vehicle collector and have an Australian Army:
I have now been offered an ex-South African Defence Force 1977 Land Rover SIIB Forward Control, Radio Relay (Command Post) Truck, although it has been civilianised outside and converted to a camper inside. Am seriously considering the purchase and restoration back to SADF configuration, if only for it's novelty reasons of it's presence in Australia.
Can anyone supply me with:

Can anyone supply me with:
- images of SADF vehicles in the late 1970s and 1980s?
- Any images of Land Rover or UniMog Command Post Radio Relay trucks?
- Radio configuration or any documentation?
- Formation and tactical unit markings that may have been used on this type of vehicle?
- Any other information about the SADF use of such vehicles?
