Hi, have a question regarding wading plates. It seems that on mine carrier the position of the plates on the driver's front armour is quite unusual.
On the preserved armour I have found remains of the weld, I guess are from the wading plate. But it seems that wading plate was welded too high, almost to the top edge of the armour, not in the position I'm used to know from the carriers. It's more like T-16's layout. From all the photos (Mk.II/III's) I know, plates on the driver's armour are welded app. in the line "lower side of the visor=lower side of the plate". Not here, I guess.
Have no idea if there was any official drawing/procedure issued or if it could differ from batch/serie/manufacturer...
So, have you ever seen it in such position as here? Or again I have some kind of rarity? Thank you!
