Apart from the inescapable fact that my Scout (RMY 682 or RMY 683) is within one or two digits of the Fort Capuzzi vehicle RMY 681, my left hand rear track guard is dented and distorted in an identical pattern to that shown in the Capuzzi photograph!
What are the chances they are one and the same vehicle ?

I would love to know for certain...

Cheers

Nigel, do you have a higher resolution copy of the picture from your book? What is the source, might there be other identifying pics in the series?

Phil, Could post a comparison shot from the same angle to confirm the ID?

PS the name of the Fort is Capuzzo. It copped a bit of artillery and chipped part of the name in the masonry.
