Default Five Spoked Carrier Wheels

Hi guys
I obtained this information from an SA Carrier contact who conducted quite a bit of research purely on SA Carriers.

Quote:
- Another noticable difference of SAR built Carriers compared to the others is the construction of the front track wheel. This type may only have been fitted to the early design. Firstly it is only five spoked, the others being six. Instead of the spokes being cast in the shape of an "H" or "I" as the other sic track wheelsare, these are cast in the shape of a "C" or "U". Also cast into one spoke is 1941 and the letters B & D, probably the maker's ID. Another spoke has 703-1 which may be the part number -
Bob
