Thanks Nigel,

Also for idetifying the lamp, I thought it may have been a loud hailer! Though rather pointless on a forward observation vehicle.
Was the lamp a Helleson type, carried by most AFV's? Any details on one?
I have read with great interest some of the articles you have written about the history of the carrier, and its many variants.

Couple of other questions though, were engines painted? I have some info from the "flathead" website on Ford V8 engines, with factory colours and dates they were used. Wartime dates gives the colour as dark green, would the Dagenham engines have been painted, then shipped onto the various other builders?
In the enclosed, there is flat container, open along one side. What did this hold? The mounting frame for the radio is just above it, so what was the purpose for this?

Thanks again.
