Then we've narrowed down the manufacturer.

UK Crusaders were also badged as Leyland including those used for military trucks.

Still need confirmation for New Zealand or Australian regions.

To my knowledge they kept the name Crusader when the brand name was changed from Scammell to Leyland some time around 1975.
I found 'P'-reg Scammell Crusader and 'P'-reg Leyland Crusader. There is also one 'N'-reg Leyland, which means there must have been an overlap with both brands used at the same time.

They were always Scammell for the home market - badged as Leyland for export, certainly in latter years

I couldn't bring myself to use the same frame as the original main pic since it's too blurry for me, but feel free to replace if you think I'm in the wrong (both pics have the same timestamp):
