I came across a document listing different carrier types delivered from the UK to Denmark 1945-1946. Most are self-explanatory

Carrier...
- Universal
- MMG
- Mortar
- AOP

but what about...

Carrier....
- T. Towing
- T.S. & C.

Carrier, Tracked, Towing. (for 4.2in Mortar)
Carrier, Tracked, Starting & Charging.

These are both variants of the Loyd Carrier.

Thanks Tony!

Guess Nigels reference has to go on the list of what to buy when my economy improves

Am I correct in assuming that the others, Mortar, MMG and AOP are all based on the Universal Carrier?

AFAIK the Danish Army Lloyds were used mainly to tow 6-pdr guns.
