and just to help with the confusion and to re itterate that there are many spurious alterations / designs per Mk. here is a carrier made in 1944, note a few things that would lend you to think it was a specific Mk. they are all there and all from different Mks this one was Dirks which sold for circa 14.000 a very nice complete example but was out of by budget range... my point being you cant judge a carrier by its cover
 you will notice this one has the solid cover as per Ledsels original comment.        one thing i do notice with this one is the large round hole on the center division plate behind the gunner, this looks original (from what i can tell) what could this hole have been used for ? and secondly the hole in the floor in the front cockpit is round rather than oval ? was this introduced post Mk1 ?

Well I decided to go with the MkI facelift shown above in the picture posted by Richard. Here is the start of the facelift the headlight on the gunner's side
   Next I decided to make a brengun mount for the gunners position and here's how it came out. I temporarily removed the folding bi-pod and sling. Opinons welcomed as I appreciate all the help I've received so far.... Thanks Harold

Well I could use some measurements of the frames and the water cans that were stowed on the front fenders. Also a clear pic of what ever it is behind the light on the edge of the gunners shield. Sort of looks like a turn signal or something not sure. I know I could just bang something up that looks some what like a carrier but I'm kind of picky or a nit picker. I pick my own work apart all the time saying I should have done it this way or that way
