If you save and blow up the photos, you will see that pretty much all of the inner metal over the tracks has either disintegrated or is laying on the track. You can also see where the armour has blistered in the corners, indicating that it is likely very thin.

On the plus side, two of the bren stem mounts are there, and they are primarily brass. I think I see a third one sitting inside the hull.

That would save, but it would be lengthy and costly to do right / well.

glad I bought it now !!!
