is it possible it is not the factory built axle ? i know during military service they had a stock pile of axle units so they could change them out in a one'r so the brakes and diff etc could be changed in one fell swoop ?
it certainly does look like a truck axle or some sort of sprung system vehicle.
thing i love about carriers is they throw up so many questions and little hidden gems which you can miss but find months down the line !
Kevin clearly you have an eye for a good carrier project i remember saying myself "The Mk1 would be a good one" but never thought it would be as complete as it is.
