Thanks, Matt! My blisterpacks are 125 mm long so are not on your list. The cardboard seems much older than the 75-80 blister packs on cards, but could they be the 'yellow plinth pack'?

Karl - going by the photos I would think your blister packs are the yellow plinth packs...

Seems that way, so they are the newest ones I have, according to the Museum website. I had assumed they were older than the carded ones... Like this:

Karl - these packs were issued 1975-80 according to the Fun Ho! Museum site. There was a Farm background (as in your image), one for Road Construction, one for Army related items, and one yellow Target package (Australian special packaging), each used five or six different shaped stiff acetate blisters (one blister per card) and they were used on most models.
