In Kevin's post #35 the last picture shows RMY 681, with a large "4" on the right front guard. What does that mean? (please)

That is also an interesting photo Kevin posted in #36. I have seen quite a few wartime carrier photos of them in any position other than upright, and as I recall, most of those showed broken/damaged track suggesting a mine or shell impact did it in. In Kevin's photo, both tracks appear to be firmly in place and the general shape of the carrier plates looks true, A lot of dust on the front of it and the broken headlamps suggest perhaps a close blast simply knocked it over.

THat's why I asked Michael R. There's a good chance they were of the same unit at that stage.

Michael R, as your second photo is an Armoured O.P. I thought I'd post a couple more. These are Carrier, AOP. MkII, the same as Nigel Ward's rare survivor.
The first 2 images (same carrier as the 1 from your earlier post?) shows T17153? with field mod to take the gun (what is it MG08?) The last one is a Kiwi AOP MkII.Anyone care to guess the T number? (maybe clever enough to enhance?) Without Nigels Watson's book, I would guess all the AOP MkIIs are all in the same range my (wild) guess is T17358 or T17368??
