All of the original 20 FV1609s were like this for Troop Trials in 1956. It was only in 1958 that 10 of these were obtained by the Ministry of Home Affairs for RUC use. All but one of these survived for conversion to hard tops by Belfast Tool & Gauge. The 10 that continued in Army usage were converted to FV1611/12 & uparmoured when the lockers of their various kinds were removed. Most of these ended up as hard targets.
