I think it is odd that if you want a carrier with doors in the side you wouldn't at least think about starting with a hull that had doors already built in? Though I can recognize that that pre-existing doors in the early Ram hulls were probably too small to be useful. for the passage and stowage of ammo boxes. Also, I see a mention in that the batteries would be moved up to the sponsons from the floor making side door access difficult.

It is equally possible that the Canadian Army didn't have any of te early models available. With the exception of those in Canada and those at the CRU, most of these early models had already been handed off to the Brits.
