Sorry, I was working away from home when I posted my remark about the CT number and made a mistake correlating it to that TKC number. I should have known better.

I have now checked my sources, including David Herbert's notes, and can confirm Shop Number 1141 has Census Number CT-40921. It was built December 1943. It was one of the very last Ram tanks built with M3 Medium Tank transmission, final drive and bogies. CT-40937 was the last one built in this configuration.
From Shop Number 1158 /CT-159402 onwards the Ram tank was fitted with M4 Medium tank final drive and bogies.

Carl, I presume your Ram hulk came off Pirbright ranges, too?

Hope this helps,
Hanno
