Best Answer

Australia purchased Centurion tanks from Britain. The primary way to tell the difference between the two, is the Australian crewmen had removed their armored side skirts from their Centurions in Vietnam, so as to prevent the build-up of mud/debris during movement. Secondly, all Australian Centurions in Vietnam had a external 100 gallon fuel tank attached to the tank's stern section.

Did Britain invent the first tank?

Yes they did, in WW1. No. Incorrect. An Australian, Lance De Mole invented the tank in 1912. He submitted it to the British War Office, but was rejected. and again in 1914, and 1916. Eventually they accepted. An English man took out a patent on a concept but never produced a working machine. De mole produced a working model. It travelled at 2.5 miles per hour. It is on display in the Australian War memorial.
