I've seen references to the Weasel being referred to as “continuous track carriers” by the British in the ETO. Weasels, T-16s and anything else with a similar function to the Universal Carrier often got generalized as “carriers” so reading multiple accounts of the same action is required to sometime figure out what vehicles were on hand. Wartime notes from the Reichswald Forest (British XXX Corps - Operation Veritable) campaign mention mud being so bad that only Weasels could get around. Also the recommendation in an after action report that each tank squadron should have a Weasel to facilitate movement of attendees for “O” group meetings since they were more practical than taking a Churchill for that purpose.
