That most recent carrier is a different vehicle from the earlier one that had apparently sold. I've traded some parts and lots of information going both ways with the owner who is in the UK. His T-16 hull serial number was 100 off from mine and this is the specifics I had for both of our vehicles:
Name S/N Lift Hooks Date Registration
Gordon 5399 FS 5488 1-44 TD 97377
Bledsoe 5498 FS 5597 1-44 T 286476
I'm really surprised to see him selling it, although I guess things do come up in peoples lives that can force a change. He had a lot of work into restoration as of a year ago and the armor was complete.
