Guess this Projection

Hello all,

Have one nasty little raster here that is apparently in AMG66 Zone 55
(epsg:20253), according to Mapinfo. I cannot get it to display in
mapserver unless I warp it, but doing so results in an image that is
incorrectly registered and skewed (also out by 1500km or so). I am
trying to output in WGS84 / GDA94 in line with my vectors. Gdalinfo
output is shown below. I can provide a copy by email if anyone would
care to take a closer look. This has been causing me problems for
months now. Mapfile is below. Any help greatly appreciated, Nick
