The thread just below on Northern Ireland vehicles provides more detail.

Chris I assume you mean FV1620's FV1609 as it is complete and the pictures Clive posted are from his archive during conversion from a Mk 2 to the Original Mk 1.

You are quite right about the lockers. Whilst the shape is different the mechanics of them are similar apart from the RUC/ ARMY/ Development process deviations.

I am sure Clive (FV1620) can quote us chapter and verse on the differences and why etc.
