Apparently the RAN didn't operate Wasps, that is a Scout in the picture. Scouts did have problems with ground resonance in development, and as you point out in the other pictures there seems to be a variation in the number of discs: none, two and three on the skid tips. Perhaps some AAC types are lurking?
