The Centurions had RR Meteor engines - and if they had only had a common

parts
nomenclature/numbering system, the Aussie could have supplied the Yanks

with
parts!


It was not until the beginning of 1952 that the Australian Army finally
received it's first Centurion tanks. These first tanks were given to 1
Armoured Regiment.


How about the Comet tank - what engine did that have - and did the Aussies use
it - and was it in Korea ??


Comet had the Meteor.
