Both the SRV and SRV Heavy Weapons Misison Install Kit appear to have undergone a number of changes along their fifetime to early 2009 at the time of writing this page. It also appears that there are a number of variants. Only time will tell

Truck, Surveillance and Reconnaissance, Lightweight, Winch, MC2 (SRV Heavy Weapons)

As above, but modified with a mission install kit to carry heavier weapons on a modified ROPS. This vehicle also appears to have a shelf for carrying extra equipment at the rear, and a different windscreen.

Fitted For Line

This does not appear to be an official variant, rather a modified general service vehicle. It has been modified with the neccessary equipment to lay communications and other cables.

Sallyman

These Defender 130's are not used by the Army, and are not "perentie" vehicles. However as they are used alongside the Perentie by the Salvation Army they have been included here. These are modified Defender 130 utes with specially built modules on the back.

TD5 Hardtop

Again, whilst not a true "Perentie" these vehicles are modified Defender vehicles again. In this case on special order by the Australian Army. They are 2 door hard tops with storage for equipment and a jerry can in 2 side lockers, and bench seats in the rear of the vehicle. These only have a short service life, but are far cheaper to procure. They were purchased as a stopgap to fill holes in the supply of 110 perentie vehicles. For more photos of this model visit the Stopgap TD5 page.

Parakeet Communications Vehicle

This one is a bit of a mystery. There appears to be no army record of this vehicle existing, however that should not come as a surprise as dur to it's role it would be reasonably heavily classified!

The Parkaeet module is a bolt on module that can be fitted to trucks as well as land rovers. Parakeet modules have even been seen on dial cab 6x6's. However untill mroe information is available we'll just have to leave you with a few photos!

Armygeddon

Armygeddon was a 6x6 GS that was modified by apprentices and contractors as a PR vehicle. It had a blown v8 fitted, locking diffs and various other modifications so that it could be used for purnouts and PR work.
