i'm guessing that that aussie ones are very similar to ours, in which case i reckon their better than the yank ones. IMO


just found these pics on an australian site...looks like yours are exactly the same!


notice "new zealand" written on one of the items


love those wee can openers i've got six of them here, prefer them to "proper" ones
As I am looking right know at the latest Australian CRP Menu "D" and it bears no resemblence to the above picture and all my time in the military I have never seen a CRP like this used in Australia so the website that you got it from is very much out of date or it is actually a Ration pack from New Zealand. Now that I have said this alot of our stuff in the CRP's does in fact come from New Zealand.
