I am confused. From the British manuals, a No3 is 95 hp, but you are telling me that a No.3 means a Canadian built engine of 85hp. ...... No bloody wonder people get confused!
Nigel, you've done a lot of research. Can you clarify?
Hi Lynn
The Illustrated Parts List for Universal Carriers dated 1945 Chilwell 63/76 under Identification of Vehicle Types show all No. 3 Carriers across the whole range of carriers as the C01UC-6097 unit. All the engines mentioned in this Parts List under Identification of Engine Types are 85bhp with the C01UC-6097 being fitted as the standard engine to MkI*, 3"Mortar and 2prAT (presumably because these were all based on the MkI*. Could it be a misprint? Is your manual British or British but for Australian/New Zealand use perhaps? It is for carriers and not trucks etc? More research called for I reckon.

Anyone else have any observations/thoughts?

Neil sorry still can't crack the Serial No. to Hull Numbers to WD Number link. Still hopeful to come across something.

Nigel
