The positioning of the ancillaries around the engine is also different to the Lynx I.
The routing of the electrics to the instrument board is also completely different to the Lynx I (Mk.III and Mk.III*).
The Lynx I (Mk.III*) had either 2 or three hinges on the rear hatch. I see that they have saved a hinge on this Mk. as well as it only has 2.
It would be interesting to see the hull number. That is located on the ID. Plate to the right of the driver below the hatch and repeated on the flat plate in front of the vertical front plate with the hatches in it on the right side. It will also give the month and year of manufacture. On the left opposite side the number is also stamped on the flat plate in a bigger font than the right, but not as clearly or deeply stamped.
