Arrived in it's new home safe and sound.
The carrier made it to its new home without any issues and is now nestled away indoors for the season. Work may start in the summer but as with all resto's it will take years.
Thanks to Robin for the super sized power assist in loading. Jon

ID Numbers on this carrier.
The usual spot behind the drivers head has been cut off.
On the dash armour in front of the driver there are three symbols - XWo. On the back at the back left of the armour it is - 26948 after that there is a "C" with a vertical line through it. On the left of the air inlet above the gunners head - TL1277TL. Any help in getting some history would be appreciated.

2 cents worth of opinionated observation
Any help in getting some history would be appreciated.
IMHO: Ford Canada, Windsor Ontario No. 2 Mk. II* Spring of 1944. Contract 2609 Modified for flame thrower installation. You may find the serial number for the engine on the block. If it is the original block, the number on the block may be 2,000 higher that what the Carrier upper hull number would have been, and 1,000 higher than the production serial number. The number TL1277TL you wrote about may in fact be TL12771L, a portion of the engine ventilator. That would be the part number, not related to serial number data.
