Ron, my fuel gauge is one hundred percent reliable. Early carriers had a "dipstick"
I did buy resistors for my other 3 Ford electric gauges from Macs autos, Stateside. (my carrier came out with a Ford commercial cluster like the Australian LP2)

Default How our Bren looks today

Today the two exhaust pipes were installed at the bottom of the Bren, and the number of the Bren was painted

Good effort to you, Israel, and your friends at the tractor museum.

We do not see such complete examples of the Canadian made 3” mortar carrier that has been updated to British MK-II, with the British bronze data plate installed.

Your A is the tool box with the kneeling pad CTL 780 A. I have never seen that other cover other than that pic in the manual. I expect they didn't last long in service life.

Israel, your carrier would have the Mk-I* engine cover framework, top armour plates (two) and ventilation screen.

Your four upper engine covers are similar size and shape of the MK-II* model, with subtle differences including changes to the insulation application, external mounting of flare cartridge container with updated stand off bracket, and fuel tank dipstick/oil can opener stowage bracket.

There is a small change in the driver side rear cover to allow the conduit of the wireless battery cables to pass through.
