I know this doesn't help with your question but I found these pictures on the IWM site.
Universal carrier Mk I fitted out as an Artillery OP (Observation Post) carrier equipped with No. 11 and No. 18 wireless sets.

A point of interest about this carrier. It was built as an OP carrier by Aveling Barford, England and one of only 253. Built between Sept'39 and Mar'40.
Its strange though that they retained the Bren Mag Loading Tool Bin on the top of the enlarged battery box at the rear, as the OP carriers weren't usually equipped with the Bren. Maybe it was used for the crew fags!!!
