Is similar to the one currently in use with the Austalian Army?

Thanks.

G'day mate
Here is the one we use now, the MC3 Mack Heavy Cargo Truck.
I don't believe they are the same truck.

I don't think this is that 800 either, but the cab is the normal Mack cab, it is the same cab they put on the R model, and super liner models, they just change the fenders, and might dress up, or strip down the interior on some models.

They only have a couple different cabs, and the other is like a half cab, that they put on some cement mixers or other equipment that never has a passenger, then the newer models went to CH, and I think CL for extended hood to fit the V8's,
