Amongst the vehicles is a Loyd TS&C (confirmed by census number) which carries the same markings as the Shermans, Valentines and Crusader AAs- ie Div/Brigade sign, AoS square with unit number and Squadron sign
As an aside, interesting to see the 17 Pdrs on the Fireflies covered by tarps.

Thanks Simon.
The second Loyd is a starter charger as it has the pioneer tools on the front. It looks to be marked 994 which should be 4/7th Royal Dragoons Guards of the 8th independent armoured brigade. Most of the vehicle's look to be marked 994 but did see a Sherman towards the end marked 996 which should be Nottinghamshire Yeomanry.
