Aussie P-40N Warhawk seatbelt type

The very nice Special Hobby 1/72nd P-40N dropped through the door, the first impressions are very favourable.

 

This one will be made as an Australian aircraft based in New Guinea.

 

Going by the colour scheme I've always assumed the Australian aircraft were delivered direct from the US, I've also assumed they came fitted with American equipment e.g. radios and seatbelt harnesses, can anyone confirm whether the American harnesses were retained or did the Australians use British harnesses?

 

TIA

in RAAF report, comparison E, K & N, , about safety harness on P40N, I read: new USA type, similar to RAAF type(T.O.1) fitted

 

That was quick, thanks for that!
