I will upload more photos when I figure out how the hell to get it out of the boot.

If anyone can help identifying the make or similar would be appreciated.

Thin sheet(s) of plywood or dunnage board, make a sandwich.
Use small diameter pipe or conduit in between.

So any ideas on make/model or a similar machine I could get a manual for?
 
Unfortunately, I can't help with the ID of the mill, but it looks to be a nicely built machine.

Interesting setup hanging from the front back-gear bearing housing. Possibly belt tensioner for the spindle drive? It doesn't look shop made to me, other than the bracket on the end of the rod.

Unusual paint color too, almost Euclid green-ish.

Some horizontals had braces that tied the overarm to the body of the machine. That may have been the purpose of
that knob on the arm - a fixing point for a brace.
 
Didn't Atlas make some bench top units like that? I've only seen a handful of them but that was my first thought.

Definitely no Atlas.

I've seen one like that before, I just can't recall what it was called. I don't think there is anything like that on Tony's reference site. At least nothing that is exactly like it that I recall.
 
I think it is similar to a pre 1930s Tom Senior Heavy Bench Mill. I have only seen one catalog pic on Tony's site of that and it's similar but not the same.

I have acquired the same mill (also in Australia). Did you ever find the manufacturer? Mine is missing a couple of parts - would be good to get dimensions/photos.
 
What do you need photos of?

I did refurbish my machine and it’s up & running. I have seen several of the same machine since they also came with a base and cast iron motor tension arm.
