Default Post-War British Ram Kangaroo Question

I was flipping through a booklet titled The British Tank: A Photographic History 1916-1986 by Lt. Col. (Retd.) George Forty and noticed an image of a Ram Kangaroo with a post-1949 British Census number on p.34. This image and the number of Kangaroo's on, or recently recovered from, UK ranges made me wonder if the number of Ram Kangaroo's retained and/or converted by the British for use in the peacetime army is known? Would these have served until replaced by the Saracen?

The census number on this APC is partially obscured on both the side and rear but what is visible is 67 ?R 43. Would it be possible to determine the missing letter in the registration and does this correspond to the earlier War Department number?

Thanks,
J
