Smile Ford Lynx discovered

Is this a Lynx I?
These pictures have been passed on to me of a Lynx discovery. It looks poor, but I am told that the body is laying under a shrub or in a sheep pen nearby. At this stage, location must remain undisclosed while some "Hush-hush" negotiations are carried out .
I notice that the Lynx has the same small 6-stud hubs as the C8A and F8A, and not the same heavy axles as the rear engined chassis used for vehicles such as the "Indian Pattern Wheeled Carrier". Surely with the weight of the armoured body, these axles would be borderline capacity? Why wasn't the heavier rear engined chassis used for the Lynx? Does the Lynx I have a two-speed transfer case, or does it use a 8cwt single speed unit?
