The second photo shows a welded hull, did Canada produce many welded hulls ?

Hi Shaun.

Actually, both those photos are from the same carrier at Ford Canada. You will see the weld bead running down the corner of the front armour in the first photo. behind the loophole cover plate stowage bracket.

You have raised an interesting question. Give me a couple of days to look through the photos I have from Ford and I will post a new thread and comments. We might be onto something here.

Cheers for now,

So is this welded hull with riveted air ducts a designated as MKII*W. I am very confused about late Canadian carriers, and cannot even tell the difference between a MkI* and a MkII* anymore (unless it's on the plate)

discovered more out
fuc-3 page 228 says ctl947sa is for c31ucw

illustrated parts list 1945 says: page h13
tl947sa is for universal mk2 and mk3
3 ich mortar mk2 and mk3
mmg mk2

also on page p13
tl14120 is only fitted in universal mk2 and mk3

bring it over to w&p together with some other parts.

The previous owner tells me mine might be from a T16? So I need a real one now Ron

what says the measurements?
if they are good you can make the plate easily the same as a (c)tl 947sa
or am i wrong.
