Clive Law's books will give you the definitive answer. But off the top of my head, no. That is an engineer variant, and I con't think the RCE thumperheads were using anything quite so specialized.

Thanks Terry, I have Clive's book in the archives, will dig it up to verify. It was a longshot

Ah Hah! The Centurion AVRE, the star of Operation Motorman when the British Army deployed tracked vehicles on the streets of Northern Ireland against their own populace, a dubious part of British history.

Ahh yes...had forgotten about Motorman...evidently also the last Cent in active service...nicknamed "the antiques roadshow" during the gulf war
