Yes Alex, similar, just like chalk and cheese.
I did have some good photos of some of the LP1 bits but(unless they are on my spare hard drive) I lost them to a cryptolocker virus.
The LP1 basically used a hydraulically operated S cam brake.
Aside from the carriers short comings due to total reliance on the brakes for steering, I suspect they had the best brakes of the lot until the T16 came along.

It would be good to see someone who is rebuilding one, run a thread on here.
