This ex ADF S2A Land Rover now has a new career in the United States as a film prop. Looks as if the bullet holes were made by striking the panels with a pick or something similar. Probably the one mounted ontop of the guard.

The same company also has replica Abrams battle tanks based on ex ADF Centurion chassis. These Abrams have been used in numerous films featuring US army battle scenes. They were initially purchased from Australia for use in the 1996 movie 'Courage Under Fire' starring Meg Ryan and Denzel Washington.

antenna on the LHS guard as well, I expect they are movie modifications given the rust etc on it near the weld lines.
