As a consequence (of the hull never actually having been built as a 'tank'), I'm not sure I would include it in the list of 'survivors'.

I disagree Mike,
It would be one thing if John made a replica hull or modified the hull of a AC1 to look like the AC3, but it still was cast a AC3 hull during the 40's like every other AC hull.
Its like if i built a Spitfire out of NOS.
Is it a Spitfire? yes
Did it serve or have any history? no
