The Sexton definately has 43 on r/b. If I knew how to post a picture I would. Assuming you are allowed to post British Pathe film stills?
Unless there were other Sexton equipped units in the area?
Cheers

Below is a detail from a larger photo showing a Sexton from the British 11th Armoured Division with the AoS number 76. The two Field Artillery Regiments of the 11th AD are the 13th RHA and the 151st RA. On all the lists that I’ve seen the 13th is the first field regimented listed, pointing towards it being the towed regiment and not the SP regiment.
On the photos of the Sexton with the number 43, was there a white bar under the number? If so then it would be an Army Field Regiment. The British 86th Army Field Regiment had Sextons and landed on D-Day in support of the British 50th Division, but I don’t know its AoS number.
