Buster,
If you do mean when did the ball mount bow machine gun mount come in, I can not give you an exact date but it would be January 1943 or not much outside it. It was at vehicle number CT159502. This makes a total of 692 gun tanks that were built that way. There were also 178 Command/OPs, Amunition carriers and Command Post tanks for which later numbers were allocated (ie not conversions) but it is not certain how many were actually built. The Canadians chose to convert their Kangaroos from ball mount type hulls as far as possible but the British were less picky.
Alistair,
That Kangaroo has since been finnished and is now at the new Australian War museum, see the seperate thread here for a picture of it before and after restoration. A bit like your Loyd but heavier !
