I wonder what colour standard...

Great picture and sleuthing Troy!

I wonder what colour standard this system was using?

525/30/NTSC
625/25/NTSC
405/25/NTSC

The delay in colour broadcasting in Australia was largely budgetary ..the federal government did not wish to spend money to update the ABC's (our equivalent of the BBC) broadcasting equipment.

But given the Menzies government's disdain for television in general I am not surprised. (Television only arrived in Australia in 1956 after the IOC insisted television be available for the 1956 Olympics in Melbourne.)

Colour came to Australia as a result of the Labor government's electoral promises in the 1972 election.
