I have seen the colour photo before, and Mike's seems identical in design. There are numerous different versions, somewhere I have a photo of a chap I knew, who served in the Royal Engineers in Malaya, sitting in one with his native driver, this one is different again. I have just come across a poor photocopy of a photo, depicting a Malayan Army Dingo on parade, with what looks like a turret from a Ferret mk2, or similar design.

There is a collector nearby who has one, ex-Gurkhas and the drivers hatch is so small, with nil vision to the left, it would be a pain to work on, or even drive. No doubt the centre of gravity has drastically altered as well.
