MkII Rolls
Well guys, the carrier rolled off of the trailer and into my warehouse. Good news, I'm not too big to fit properly into a carrier! I cross checked the engine number, located on the block, at the right rear top and it matches the ID plate. Lower hull is also a match. Upper hull number is visible. Lots of grease on all the nipples, Prestone in the rad, fuel in the bowl, no oil leaks. Cross tube steering linkage has been disconnected, hand brake is missing. I think we are going to spend a day on it, hooking things up and borrowing a hand brake, to see if we can get it running. Will post pictures & video shortly.
Cheerio, Richard

Clarification: Upper vs Lower Hull #'s
Ok - correction - Upper Hull # matches, Lower Hull # is not indicated on the ID plate. Borrowed hand brake from MK-1* is straight, a MK-2* hand brake has a bend in it. How about an educated guess on a CT# for this carrier?

See Nigel Watson for the CT range on the CD2609 contract. There were 2,500 carriers in the order, C31UCW models, but I wonder if that included those fitted for 3" mortar, like Charles F. has? Until research reveals a document with serial numbers to WD numbers, is it possible to estimate WD numbers with any accuracy?

Interesting. No one replied to my query about which hull number is used for vehicle ID. But you say it's the upper hull (front) number? You would think that the main hull (chassis) would have been the number to use. Ron

Ron - didn't even see the query...the carrier number is the number stamped into the top of the armour plate, on the skinny edge, directly in front of the driver. in my case: 267179

Thanks for the reply Charlie. But I'm still baffled? They quote a hull number on the ID plate, but the hulls have two numbers (front/upper, rear/lower) My front armour has been replaced with armour from an earlier carrier. I thought the number stamped on that front edge was a census (T-CT)number.......Or am I barking up the wrong tree?
Regards Ron

Numbers
Hello Ron
On the front armour is the T/CT number, date and the serial number. After speaking to Ross and finding it in the manuel the upper hull number on the angle iron behind the commanders seat is the one used on the Data Plate for the Hull Number. Hope this helps. Stephen
