Australia started manufacturing the universal carrier under license. Then later on the Australian military modified the original carrier calling them LP1 and LP2. Otherwise known as a Local Pattern Carrier... Built in Australia from 1940.

The LP1 and LP2 design was heavily based on the Bren carrier but were powered by Canadian sourced Ford V8 engines. Changing some original design features, like adding two steps on the side of the carrier, removing tow hitches, redesigning locations for electrical systems to suit the Australian military.
