OK, so you want a
.5 MkV Tank Vickers? Well, you can't have all 3!
Lithgow have a .303 MkXXI
TANK Vickers (Lithgow made), a .303
MkV Aircraft Vickers, and a
.5 MkIII Naval Vickers. I will have a deeper look through the Archives on Tuesday to see if there any drawings or images of the
.5 MkV Tank Vickers.
BTW, the nomenclature for these guns is .5, not .50. The ammunition is unique and not regular .50BMG
