Looks like the typical Aussie truck to me.

I also notice that the wiring and other plumbing is of higher quality, and secured more thoroughly than the Kenworths here in the states. It makes a person wonder why that is...lol.

Probably has to do with the horrendous roads we are expected to operate on. My T909 is only averaging 49klm/hr since new. Most of the 'highways' are very 2nd rate, I have towed triples on the dirt roads up on Cape York Penninsular where average speeds are around 20 klm/hr. The black split corrugated conduit most commonly found protecting electrical wiring will wear a hole clean through wiring harnesses on the dirt roads from corrugations/vibration. Kenworth are one of the better manufactures at preventing this, although most Kenworth trucks spent a week in the shed getting more preventative work before venturing onto the dirt.
