Do you know how original this last model is.

You may recall a small batch of these turned up during the 1980's all in rebuilt condition. One dealer claimed to me at the time that a number of kits had been found and they had been converted in this country. I am not a where of any photographs of this model in action, but I believe there is one in a museum in Malaysia.

The turrets are from the Mk1 Saracen rather than the Ferret. All the improvised Mk2 and 2/2 Ferrets converted in the region ended up with this turret as well.

The pedestal mount version is also interesting. Could that be a version of the PLM Mount? I have a similar picture taken at Bovington with a Vickers on the mount.
