Mk. II*
Welcome Manfred !
Your Carrier is a U.C. No. 2 Mk. II*, built by Ford, in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. Without a doubt it was manufactured in contract number CD 2609, March or April, 1944. The upper armour is CB 24552, engine number is TL 27149-F . As Nigel mentions, a former mortar carrier stowage model.
If you remove the post war fuel container bracket from the left rear, you may find the lower hull number on the angle bracket that attaches the rear upper vertical armour plate to the lower hull. See red arrow in attached image.
