Carbine track bike restoration

I purchased this bicycle along with a 51 Paramount and I am trying to find out what year it was manufactured. I did some online research and found that this bicycle was made in Australia by the company Carbine. It has a BSA cottered crankset, GB track bars mounted to a non-adjustable stem, I don’t know about the pedals so included a few photos here, they are labeled “made in France”. The forks are rusted but it appears they were once chromed and the paint is a green metallic which doesn't seem to fit the period but I could be wrong. I know there must be a serial number stamped somewhere but I just can’t find it so any ideas in that department would be much appreciated.

It’s a great old bike and my first inclination was to have it sprayed locally, but the more I mull it over its probably headed to Waterford with the Paramount.
