Unlikely, but I think I proposed in a thread on Korea that regular army units would have been sent initially and rotated home as soon as the reserves were ready and the Indonesian situation had hotted up.
The reserve brigade (mostly light, foot mobile infantry) would have been used in Korea as rear area security most likely and supported by M113's and M113MRVs (Scorpion turrets). I'd like to see some New Zealanders there too as part of the Brigade, probably an artillery battery as occurred in Vietnam, or their light tanks (Scimitars?).
