As Tony has eluded Your carrier is a MkII* ( the "*" designating Canadian production. I'd guess Tony's example was focussed on the "*"
The other part of the designation is the "No." As in "Carrier universal No.1 Mk2*" The No. part relates to the engine fitted to it, Basically there were 3 horse power variants. 60 h.p.= No.1. 85 h.p.= No.2. and 95h.p. =No3
the engines in the Candian universals ( according to Nigel Watson's book) are all No.3. (Engine part no. CO1UC-6097 ANH) (14mm spark plugs)
So your carrier would be a " Carrier universal No.3 MkII* Does that help?
