I see the workshop on the tag is listed as 204 base workshop. I have a map here somewhere showing all those shop numbers. Only 202 remains today with that number, all other bases go with their full names now or their Wing or service bn number now. A quick google search shows that workshop to have been at Hagersville ON.

Hello there, this from James in OS
I sent an email to RCEME but have not received a reply as yet and as you have suggested probably will not.
I hope to visit my carrier on Sunday (weather permitting) and will try to get a better photo of the hull number as the division plate has been cut off and so no carrier number identification left on it. I will try to find the actual engine number and take a photo of it as well.
In the mean time I have a question for all of you. I have seen bren gun universal carrier and T-16 universal carrier wheels (straight spokes versus curved spokes) but I have just recently seen a photo a wheel of the same size but 100% solid. Does anyone know what it would be off? My carrier has solid steel top carrier wheels and just recently have seen a photo of rubber covered top carrier wheels. Are the rubber ones off newer BGC models or T-16s? Are they interchangeable?
Also. Were the BG carriers and T-16 engines interchangeable, parts wise?
Thanks in advance.
