I have just bought a few more carrier photos taken in 1945 of troops driver
training on carriers and found this one with the tracks not all the way round.
Two carriers with it, first time i have seen this.

The term is short-tracking and is a recovery technique. Although it means breaking track, counting links, hammering pins out and in, and retensioning. Anything that will get you home I suppose.

Default Universal Carrier Track Bashing

Universal Carrier track bashing looks like fun! Especially while smoking a cigarette.

RHLI carriers. Of note is the Hell’s Angles motif on the sides. The entire carrier platoon at the time carried them.
