Default picky side armour and Battery box question

I have aug 1942 Mk1* Canadian carrier.

I am getting ready to get my side armour fabricated and need to resolve 2 issues before next week.

1) Where the height goes from 396mm to 527 or 15 9/16" to 20 3/4 (at interior bulkhead transition), is it a sharp 90 degree angle, or is there an inside radius right in the corner?

2) Thickness; is it really 10mm (0.3937in) or is it 3/8" (0.3750in)?
Or do you ask for a certain guage steel?

If it is 10mm why would Canadian/British designed and built equip have specified mm?


My Battery box came back from the sand balsters yesterday and is now primed. Bonus is I can now see all the part numbers and the 2 bullet craters on the rear of the box.

The bottom of the Box is thin sheet metal. would there have been wooden planks placed in there or would the batteries just be secured directly on metal? Any pictures of inside the battery box with batteries?
