Perhaps Nigel through research he has done for his book can enlighten us on the definitive early and late war production Windsor Carrier, but I have always assumed the vehicle in the picture I posted to be the early production model, and the square wing model to be late war.
When Windsors were first being developed the Mk1 Universal Carrier was still in production so it is not supprising that early models resembled these vehicles. By the time production proper got underway Mk11 Universal Carriers were the current model and I assumed the design was modified to match the latest design.
Both of us are only surmising on the basis of reference books which as we all know often are not correct.
Hopefully some out there has the definitive answer based on primary information.
