Help with Carrier ID

I have consulted up my two sources of information namely Nigels book and and a very badly reproduced list of Carrier Contracts which the person who gave it to me thought came from Bovington.

On the Bovington list serial numbers T178800-T181058 are allocated to contract S/M 1349 which is listed as being for Windsor Carriers. Having said this all the contracts listed immeadiately prior to this cover both Windsors and Universals so perhaps a mistake was made on the list..

Unfortunately in Nigels book Contract S/M 1349 is listed as having serial numbers T28149?-T286848. I could not immeadiately see your number in Nigels book but I assume you have a copy to check.

Others may be able to comment on the first contract but the number on my own Mk2* also falls into a grey area.
Bovington do have some Canadian Contract Cards but I have never checked for Carriers.

I live in Trowbridge as well not Wilton. I am busy these days instructing in the Army Cadet Force having come out of the TA aftter 18 years. About a third of the detachment come from Poland so its getting more like WW2 everyday
