Eric, its a Sentinel Wagon (UK) built MkII, 3 inch Mortar carrier, according to Nigel Watsons book.

Adrian, The British carriers weren't stamped in the front armour. The info was only on the gun metal plate riveted to the drivers front guard. The Canadians helped to preserve the info with theirs, by stamping into the armour (after the first 1000 or so)

This will be a late war carrier. It is similar to Petrs carrier, although his is not a Mortar.
