Your welcome. But what was the difference with that one?

There certainly were a lot of variations. Of the 3 I tried to prep for you, all three were different as well. I guess that will happen when equipment sticks around for 70 years. I know we ran into that wiht replacement parts for many of the SMP vehicles, and especially for the modified "off the shelf" vehicles. As they entered their mid-teens in service, it was often hard to source replacement parts, and the manufacturers were not willing to make more for a small fleet of 2,000 or so. We often got parts in that required modifications to fit. Even the M38A1Cdns were getting some odd pieces towards the end

By the way, don't forget to thank Casey. He drove half way across the province to pick this up, and then had to sleep with it on the way back to BC.
