Maurice, My Armoured O.P. Carrier was built in the Ford Dagenham factory. It rolled off the production line about October 1941. It was welded with Stainless rods. These welded hull carriers started being built in Sept. 41. My father said back then the rods had a paper wrap that held the flux. They ran high current and produced a fair bit of spatter.
