I took pictures at a militaria gettogether in Florida of a German half track which appear to have used the bogies and suspension of a bren carrier but the track and sprocket are different than mine and the bogies are solid discs not spoked--the owner told me it was made up in part from bits of carriers left at Dunkirk-it was very well restored as a cargo carrier

Greg, that was Maultier you saw. Yes, the track setup was clearly patterned on the Bren/Universal/Loyd Carrier, but the conversion was carried out with purpose-built components. Read more about them in the thread "CMP Half Track" (scroll down to my posting about the Maultier).
I'd love to see the pictures you took of this interesting beast and I wonder if the one you saw was a Ford- or Opel-based one.

Thanks,
Hanno
