I have searched through my references and cannot find anything about the equipment this unit used. No mention of a chassis type nor can I find anything on a 95mm gun. The guns had originally been manned by the Royal Marines.

Art,
This would be refering to the Centaur IV equipped with a 95mm howitzer. the Royal Marine used them as close support tanks. They came ashore on the Normandy landings at Juno beach with the Canadians.
