Looking great Petr! You photos reveal more about the MkIII U.C.
What is the purpose of the two big holes at the bottom of the Division plate?
I think I have a NOS door for the centre hole?
When you know what the notches in the right hand engine bed rail are for, please let me know.

Petr, have a look at the photo in this thread:
Whose carrier uses one of these. date 04-03-12

Can you post a good picture of the front hull drain plug please?

Hi Lynn, I have no idea what are these holes for. Maybe some wise guy on the forum can help us?

Rick, thank you for the offer. I will sort it out this end.
Petr, she is looking great! It is such a mile stone to have the paint on. It feels better from now on. Well done!
