Hi Mark,

Yes I did see that and it is definitely a British Army label. The letters "FTM" at the top are I think Feltham, which was an RAOC Vehicle Depot, just west of London. Also at the bottom left is "LV2/" which is the grouping for any carrier spare parts.

As the Canada transfer is still intact on the side of the hull and mileage appears to be low, it may well have been one that was never issued over here. I know of one not far away, that was in a crate and is still in original paintwork.
