I'm straying a bit off topic, but the hole I referred to is on Mk1 carriers, and yes, just below the gunner. As I don't see this rectangular hole (I think it's about 4" X 4"). I would use that to support the likelihood that this is a mk2 hull. Re the cutoff for the early Lucas headlamps, the parts manual gives a cut off of approx serial 2083 and 2084 for the changeover to the Cdn lamps.

If I recall correctly, from Nigels book, a number of carriers were built by Ford of Canada,for the U.K., using components, made in the U.K. My guess though, is that your pics are of Canadian carriers for Canada, because of the horn (and the pic of no.1000)
You are right of course about the info flow, as the net gains momentum. Great! ..aint it!!!.

Carriers
WOW!!! I din't mean to spark such a debate about my carrier, it is good to see everyone posting their info as all is welcome to this newb carrier owner. I am getting excited about getting me second one as I was just told that it has a working engine in it, pretty much the only thing thing missing, (only, ha!) is the armour, which a friend is going to give me his mk2 armour. II am so stoked!!!!

You've got yourself another MKII no.2 . Also a former Wasp. You should still have the lower hull no. it's on that angle iron across the rear of the tub part of the hull on the left side right over the track when your facing the rear of the carrier. That will be the only no. that you will have. Good finds. Does the engine in this one run?
