David:

Here is the data plate information on my toy:

Chassis Model AC-1 (note Roger Condron's says "AC.MK 1")

HULL 2A (Roger's is a "HULL 003A". Why? Fire suppression? Turret ring differences?, Desert equipment? Bin replaced by spare tire on the right side? No provision for the Lakeman mount? And the most recently discovered difference, brass vs. cast iron gun mounts?)

Chassis Serial 2844601635

Engine Serial 27051136

Order No. LV. 1557

Date of Mfg. OCT. 8/43

Census number C.F. 160464

The Hamilton Bridge Company Ltd. plate says its a Model AC, Contract 7472, Serial 2A (which matches the "HULL 2A" on the General Motor's plate), and Paint OA76 which must refer to Khaki No.3 on the outside and/or white on the inside.

My Fox has the later bolted turret ring, no fire suppression, is desert equipped, and has brass MG mounts...oh, and that pesky triangle.
