Could be an Aussie model; have to look at it upside down or stand on yer head.

Ian,
Coles 315M
Made for the Army for handling Baily Bridge sections and lifting engines out of Tanks.
More than likely brought at a MOD Auction.
It could be anything between 25 and 30 years old.
Scratch off the yellow or blue paint and you will find some sort of military camouflage colour depending on if it ever got out of a base or went on "tour"
Regards
Wee Heavy
