On 15th June 1967 Australian station ATV-0 borrowed RCA TK-42 cameras from Channel 9 in USA to do an experimental colourcast of the Pakenham horse races. You can see one of the cameras on this page.

The viewfinder on the TK40/41 was removable. Its conceivable that they put on a different viewfinder. In fact that one looks like it came from a Marconi camera or perhaps a Pye.
Here's a Marconi Mark III picture from the Knackers Yard:

Also I've heard, although I couldn't turn up a picture, that GE made an early color camera that was a TK40/41 look-alike. It could be one of those cameras.
Which particular Channel 9 did the camera come from? Channel 9 would be assigned to a different television station in every region of the U.S.
