Thanks for the reply and the explanation of where stowage diagrams fitted in (quite literally) to the available literature.

It caught my eye because there was a list published in Progress Bulletin (Infantry), in June 1944, that listed all the then available, and anticipated, stowage sketches for various types of carrier. To the best of my knowledge, the latest ones issued for the carrier in the Infantry role were S12 and S13 of 1943, so I was curious to see the 1944 date on the UK National Archives entry for TD.5917.

On review, I wonder if it might be that the TD.5917 drawing might be more along the lines of TD.18326, which is more of a technical drawing rather than a stowage diagram.

I did have a splurge a few years ago on drawings packs from Bovington, concentrating on carriers and all types of cars, such as scout, armoured and recce. They do offer separate packs for the Carrier, Universal, Mk.I* and Carrier, Windsor, Mk.I* so I did wonder if there was a Cdn stowage scheme tucked quietly away at TNA...probably not though.

I've tried to upload the lists from PBI but had the same problems as the original poster, so will try and add it to the folder Hanno created.
