Page 208 of Vanderveens book(Fighting Vehicle Directory, WWII) uses the same description.(as my previous post)
If you read Nigel Watsons book I, pages 210 and 211. The COIUC 6097 Motors are the 95 H.P. motors (No.3) in the Universal carriers as well as in the Loyd carrier listings.
The 79E 6004 variations being The 65H.P. (No.1) motors.
Yes, I agree there are many mistakes in Wartime publications, which is understandable. However this part is very clear in its direction, and I believe this to be correct.
T.D.14758 is incorrect. It implies all MkI, MkII, and Mk III, Universals are all 85 H.P. which is definately wrong. Read the bit above the Cylinder head info on the same page (212)
What it is saying is that if the 65hp motor is replaced by an 85 hp, the carrier is no longer a No.1, but now a No.2 .
