this one was cut down and used as a pumping station in a quary, it looks like a mk1 from the rear as it has the two holes near the diff but its welded? nice to see a welded one after only reading about them

If its the same, it never had any air ducts She's an AOP No? MkIIIw, Built by Ford at Dagenham, probably. I would love to see any details of her. Is there a "T" number, or ID plate?
I am looking for the details of the observers (gunners) shutter. the plate, the profile etc of the frame/guides, Locking mechanism, and the handle. Cheers.

Hi Lynn
this carrier had been cut off two inches above the welds around the side armour couldnt tell you if it was a op or not, my friend is trying to find a few photos of it when he got it as a pumping rig. At the moment my friend has just built it back up as best he could to get it to look like a carrier. as soon as get back to see it will see if any numbers have been stamped on anywhere ?
