So does your MV have anything in it other than what the factor made
it with? Unit markings? Kit? Tools? Packs? Uniform items?

Thats absurd. Are you going to take those 40mm tubes off of the M42
Duster and the 37mm off of the M5 Stuart? A Bren gun is the typical
armament for a Dingo. Havhing that and the grenades in the stowage
bins is correct for that vehicle in it's pureist form. Just like the
antennas, radios, tools, personal kit and other items, all the extra
gear makes the vehicle more detailed for its time period.
