Fred,
The gentleman in Morth Carolina who has the "Marine Corp" T-16 is William Warren. He based his whole restoration on that one photo of the T-16 with the contingent of marines in it. He also took the liberty of adding a 37mm gun stuck out through the gunners port. Of course, the recoil of such a weapon in that position, would have taken out the radiator. Also, the vehicle was restored as a marine corp vehicle, but still included many of the post war Swiss mods. It was a very impressive display, but was not very historically correct. The bad thing, about the whole display, was the fact that he not only won "best of show", but also won the "master c;lass" award for the vehicle. It was after this show that the judging rules and regs were completely redone, abd a new guy was put in charge of the judging at the nationals. i know William pretty well, and he does very good work on his restorations, but I think he took a few too many liberties with the T-16 restoration.
