It is an early standard mk1. You likely won't find the serial numbers in the usual place on the front armor because it would have been on a large data plate bolted over the front right fender. It also would have had the older style air cleaner mounted under the engine cover instead of on the rear armor.
The tin piece on the rear right is to hold the ration box. The ratchet type idler adjusters were a feature of the early carrier. Also notable are the rubber firing rests, which were later replaced by wood when rubber became more dear.
