Over here we have been lucky enough to have a range of different carriers. Although the numbers are not big, we have had British built carriers, Canadian built carriers, as well, the Australian ones were copied and some 600+ were built here, along with the 6 proper 1938 Bren carriers, that came here pre-war, and the 40 LP1's that were patterned from them.
Because of this we can compare the differences between the different types, that you guys in Canada are unlikely to see.( We have not had T16s or Windsors) I note that even in the U.K., a U.K built carrier is fairly rare. (most of the guys in the U.K. on this forum have Canadian built carriers.) Nigel The manual has amendments dated to April 1945.

The first one is easy. CT113449 built 30th. october 1942. A universal carrier (Mark not stated) fron contract CDLV213, about 2/3d of the way through a batch of 951. The others, I cant help with.

I believe the carrier hull #5066 is the remains of a 2 pounder tank hunter. Not a lot left of, has been cut down alot but has the rounded hood that they had.
