There is a picture that seems to get trotted out about once every 5
years by the Aussie press of an entertainer (Normie Rowe) who got
called up for "Nasho" and sent to Vietnam as an M-113 driver.

It is the only right hand drive M-113 ever. Or could it be that
nobody in the press, with all their degree's in journalism, has
ever taken a close look at that picture and realised that they
got the negative back to front?

Regards
Doug
