WOW!!! I din't mean to spark such a debate about my carrier, it is good to see everyone posting their info as all is welcome to this newb carrier owner. I am getting excited about getting me second one as I was just told that it has a working engine in it, pretty much the only thing thing missing, (only, ha!) is the armour, which a friend is going to give me his mk2 armour. II am so stoked!!!!

You've got yourself another MKII no.2 . Also a former Wasp. You should still have the lower hull no. it's on that angle iron across the rear of the tub part of the hull on the left side right over the track when your facing the rear of the carrier. That will be the only no. that you will have. Good finds. Does the engine in this one run?

unfortunatly this one does not run either, however I am determined to get these running as I feel they are too valuable to discard, do you like the fancy levers that were added in place of the pedals and steering wheel, lol

Ok, so I had a look at the spot you told me and found them on the left while standing behind the carrier looking to the front, it looks to be 24611 with I believe a C broad arrow, does this sound right?
