| The RAN's designation is A5800 I believe, the RN also has an iteration of the venerable MK16. Slight diffrences here and there, but all based around the same center section layout.
The MK15.5 was originally designated MK16 MOD1 IIRC, the idea behind it was to salvage the USN's stockpile of MK15 CCRs by updating them with the MK16's newer center section to which the USN owned the rights. Never panned out for some reason or other.
