Differences of housing packing, or instrument panel gasket, varied between country of manufacture, serial number, and model of carriers.
The Canadian production design change for 'Gasket - Instrument Panel' , part no. C01UC-105300, was introduced at serial number 1877. This black rubber material gasket appears on Canadian MK-I* series carriers, i.e. C01UC, C21UCM and C21UCG, (as shown by Dave G.). Retrofitting of the earlier Canadian production required the use of longer mounting bolts, C01UC-105311. Bulletin A-5, 25 Sept 1942, Item 16 refers.
The gasket material and part number(s) was changed for the Canadian MK-II* series, C31UCW, where it is made from two parts, the material is plywood.
Those part numbers are C31UCW-104856 and C31UCW-104857 as 'Spacer - instrument panel L.H. and R.H.' respectively.
Chilwell publishes the Langite gasket material for all British Universal Carrier production instrument panel gaskets as two parts, TL 13958 and TL 13964.
