Hi Larry;

There were only approx. 100 'Bishop' SPs made.

From what I have, 142nd Field Regiment (Self-Propelled)(Royal Devon Yeomanry), R.A. (383, 384, 506 Batteries) was equipped with them in Sicily/Italy from Jul 1943 to May 1944.

142nd Fd Regt (SP), RA, were 8th Army Troops.

Hope this helps.

Cheers
