Great work, Mark
Have to digest it all in detail yet, but I have a question re.
the covering over of the drive shaft:
Quote:
Therefore, their conversion to that of armoured personnel carriers, simply
required the removal of the bins for 17-pounder ammunition, the Tannoy loudspeaker
system, and the covering over of the drive shaft.

Do you mean the drive shaft covering was to be removed from the gun towers during their conversion to APC?
If it is the covering shown in picture one, I do not understand the reasoning as this was not part of the conversion to APC, but part of the original tank configuration as seen in picture two.
