Default Stainless welding of armour plate

Bruce it was the only way they could weld the stuff at the time. That what the Brits did when they first moved from riveting carriers to welding them. Circa 1941. Thats what the "w" part of the designation of my Armoured Obsevation Post carrier stands for (welded) (with stainless electrodes)
