I posted, and then I lost my internet, meanwhile Chris pipped me at the post. I was not aware that you had the "T" number.
You wont find any stamped numbers on the hull, because the Brits didnt do it. She is definitely a Brit carrier,because the bed rails are made from channel steel with a square outer corner, the Canadian ones are a rolled section.
From Nigel's book (Vol 1 in fact) that contract was for a batch of 360 Mortar carriers. I have no doubt about the "T" number (T58362) being correct. There are other carriers in Australia from the same batch, if my memory serves me correctly.
You have a lot of original bits in there, and she should come up well. Keep posting. You will find some good help here.


Maybe Geoff or Hanno can separate this off as a carrier thread
