Wow- that Wandel & Goltermann oscilloscope is very rare, even here in Germany where it was produced.
It surely had a loooong travel to Australia. W&G had stopped developing oscilloscopes after this model AFAIK.
Here's a bit of background: http://koschuh.com/museum/wandel_goltermann/wago.htm German only, I am afraid - you may just pick your favourite online translator....

Telecom Australia & their predecessor, the Postmaster General's Dept made extensive use of Wandel & Goltermann equipment for testing of frequency multiplexed carrier equipment, on multiple conductor trunk cables, long distance coax cables, & microwave systems, back in the day, along with Rohde & Schwarz .
Interestingly, W&G had an agreement with R&S that at least, some of their equipment was compatible, so a Module or whatever from one company worked seamlessly if plugged into stuff from the other company.
The sweet little OS2 may have found its way into Oz along with one of those orders.
That said, after looking at your link, I've fallen in love with the
"BLS-218 Blauschreiber'!
I remember reading about such "back to front" (dark trace on light background) CRT displays many years ago, but I've never seen one in real life.
