If your carrier is English built it does not have the "chisel marks" that the Canadian carriers have, so it will look fine with mild steel. The English armour had a pattern on it like you would get if you painted it with a paint roller, before the paint smooths out. By the time it had a coat of paint, the pattern in the steel is hidden. There is variation in the thickness of the front armour between the various Mk1 carriers. Talk to the McDell boys about it.
