Default Serial numbers - Loyd Carrier?

Where are the areas to ID a Loyd carrier from the chassis and running gear? I can tell from the brakes that she is a Mk2 and from the short reach plugs and Ford late model dissy that she is a No2, so that's a No2 Mk2 TT tracked towing (from tall towing brackets). The bogies are all mostly dated 1943 and some brake drums 1944, I am not going to find a 'T' number but if I can build evidence I'd like to ID the manufacture. It also has the October 1944 kit installed which offers a central greasing point for much of the steering joints and other odds and ends, presumably introduced following field experience.

It's not a Wolsley as it has UC spoked road wheels. And the steering tillers don't match those I've seen fitted to an unrestored MB Wild Loyd.
