Obviously I misunderstood them.
Perentie refers to the entire project (i.e. Project Perentie) to supply vehicles to replace the Series III LandRovers that the Army was using. The project covered 4x4 as well as 6x6 LandRovers.
The SASR vehicles are just called Long Range Patrol Vehicles but people here often call any LandRover from this project a Perentie so that confuses the matter.

Here are some pages about the vehicles
