Cheers Nigel,excuse my ignorance but is the TL prefix used for other carrier parts ?
Is the same TL 14076 number used as a VAOS code in parts books for the item ?
Is the grab bag listed in parts books ?

Do any parts books list a - AA 5285 Boxes, Magazine, Bren Gun ?
If so is it the same thing (grab bag) or something different ?

Any idea if there is an online parts book for the UC ?

Sorry if these are basic questions for you blokes but my knowledge of things UC is zero !

Hi Kev. TL (for British and Commonwealth manufacture) and CTL (for Canadian manufacture) appear on most carrier parts along with the part no. The carrier parts books show this number with TL or CTL or CO1UC or Ford parts numbers.

TL14076 doesn't seem to appear in the early parts catalogues although I haven't checked all types. Can't help with AA 5285 but doubt these would be carrier 'parts' issued with the carrier. More likely to be store items. Don't know if there is an online parts book, maybe someone else can help.
