I don't think you can link individual images with a URL on AMMS Brisbane - internally the site uses JQuery and AJAX which means each page is built
with small pieces of HTML code which are loaded in on demand.
I agree there is an odd box behind the driver's position - I'll ask Mike Etzel (the AWM technology curator) whether he knows anything about this addition.

Thanks for this link. If making enquiries, would you also ask whether he knows why it is that the air outlet louvres on this tank point down when they usually point upwards? Thank you.
It's possible the box is an alternative petrol tank installed so as to give a gravity feed to the engine. Such a thing might have been needed if the Autovac had failed whilst in Australia and it couldn't be repaired locally.
Well, there's a hot exhaust running the whole length of the roof, and a petrol tank needs to be above the engine unless you have a pump -and if you had you'd fix the autovac. Also no-one was throwing hot lead about so that wasn't a consideration, and if you were that concerned about health and safety you wouldn't go anywhere near a WW1 tank!
