As Bruce says, it is a mortar carrier. The mortar parts would have been kept on the back wall of the Carrier on the outside. The tool plate remained the same.
The CT # is smack in the middle of a 3" Mortar Carrier contract by Ford Canada as per Nigels Vol1 book.
It really looks to be in great shape with just substancial surface damage. It will make a great resto project. Hopefully the new owner finds out about MLU and joins up.
