I agree with Andrew for Kiwi LP2 carriers.
NZ seems to have used them only for early LP2, and gone for the rubber bushed flanged coupling on later production LP2A.
Our LP2 had the early one, but one ball had frozen and it was flogged out.
An LP2 in southern Wairarapa NZ had one fail in spectacular fashion in the early 80s when it seized and rotated the gearbox off the back of the engine!
The carrier was going again a week or so later, but the monkey face CMP project in the shed never got completed due to lack of its engine!
