Getting Restoration Bren carrier MK2

[Yohay Shinar]

Yesterday I could have a look at this UC.
Here are the findings, plus a question to the knowledgeable ones:

Lower tub, Dominion bridge serial: 22543c
Ford of Canada serial: 23523
Ford production date: 14 Jan 1944

So far, matching numbers. However -
WD census is CT162220.

Per MLU's lists, CT1622** were produced in late 1942. The question remains as to how it was allocated to a vehicle produced some 15 months later.

Any ideas?

Thank you!

Could you please clarify what carrier you are looking at? As you are presently posting on a thread about what is clearly a different carrier, perhaps it would be more appropriate to start a different thread and provide some images with your narrative.

So far your observations about the apparent gap in the numbers does make it appear there is an obvious mistake. I am thinking the WD number may belong to a November, 1942 production UC-2 mortar carrier built on a factory MK-I* hull.

Hi
The restoration work continued I finished preparing all the steering rods.
I am looking for two CTL5049 units including left and right screw nuts.
Are there any such units unnecessary?
Thanks
