Default George and Richard

Both the Canadian and British built carriers are built with metric plate. although in saying that there is some variation in the thichness of the vertical front armour between the two. This matters when installing new plate to the old frame work when you are able to use the original "box", that protects the steering box. Greg McDell can give you specifics on this, as he is my source of info. I have the most of the front armour for both,(non folding Mk1) but they are currently inaccessable.
The difference is such that the screws/bolts etc. for the shutters are different lengths.
