Default Carrier wreck

Found and saved a Carrier wreck that has all the front armour goodies left that I´m missing on my drivable Carrier. What can you tell me of this wreck? MK2? T-number? More?
Regards
Erik

Amazing find! Looks like the only needed the drive train components and some flat steel plate, then buried the rest to get rid of it?

According to my Chilwell list, it's a No1 Mk II, built by Sentinel on contract M.1532 which covered 619 carriers T.252505 - T.253123.

I don't have a year for the contract, is the date stamped into the top armour at the front?

I assume it's Sentinel Waggon Works Ltd. at Shrewsbury in the UK.
