stencils from factory
I suppose there is a modification memo somewhere outlining the introduction of the more detailed stencil protocol?
Here is an image of what I believe is a NO2 MKII* carrier being crated at Ford in Windsor, Ontario Canada. Clearly the WD numbers are applied, but is that also the "STEN M.C." stencil on the engine cover protection plate?
Here are two different early unit markings: one for the Rocky Mountain Rangers shown here parading through downtown Vancouver. Not Los Angeles as suggested by the second floor shop in the background.
The second one has been posted before, the Queen's Own Rifles at a training camp in Sussex, New Brunswick. One of the first two thousand or so Ford Windsor produced MKI* assigned in Canada using British supplied proprietary parts such as the Lucas lamps.
