Hi Larry;
There were only approx. 100 'Bishop' SPs made.
From what I have, 142nd Field Regiment (Self-Propelled)(Royal Devon Yeomanry), R.A. (383, 384, 506 Batteries) was equipped with them in Sicily/Italy from Jul 1943 to May 1944.
142nd Fd Regt (SP), RA, were 8th Army Troops.
Hope this helps.
Cheers
