Fix It Again Tony!
The Australian 6th Division captured a few of these tanks intact during the attack on Bardia in the Western Desert in early January 1941, and took them into service - painting several kangaroos on each tank so that they wouldn't be the victims of "friendly fire".
I guess they were better than nothing!
