The 6 carriers were English Brens from which the 40 New Zealand "Carrier Bren No2 Mk1 L.P.(1)" were patterned, local mods excepted. There are no complete examples left (to my knowledge) Our LP1's had steering wheels, hydraulic brakes,(larger ) Ford commercial instruments, English track, and a mild steel hull see picture. Photo credit goes to Murray Clarke, who rebuilt the Waiouru Army museums English bren.
