Just received an email back from Monash University. The respondent couldn't answer my questions but she dug up an Monash Reporter newspaper article from 4th May 1971 which has a photo of the techos in front of 3 roundie monitors and a little blurb below giving a bit of info on this colour unit, see attached image. So this mobile unit was given to Monash Uni in 1971 as a gift from Smith, Kline & French Laboratories Australia Ltd.

It so happens one of the 3 guys is still working at the Uni so the respondent also gave me his phone number, so I will be contacting him sometime soon. Will be interesting to know about this mobile unit and its gear and what has become of it.
