His comment "Used on Otago, Taranaki, Canterbury, Waikato and Monowai, unsure of Wellington and Southland. They were a great vehicle to have and easily managed on and off the ship, were ideal where shore transport was little, specially the islands. Were removed in the early eighties"

The plates on the Navy vehicles would probably indicate 1978 if my memory is correct Clive. Others here will be able to elaborate and may even make it a little earlier.
The plates were issued in roughly alphabetic order.

Your Moke looks really tidy, nice one..
