If this is the ex Pounds, ex Cadmans one then it is a VERY early one. I can't find my record of the number but it has the early instrument panel (a shortened early Ram one) and would be in the range S 159377 to 159400 or CS 172726 to 172785. In Pounds it was on T54 E1 steel chevron track but was quite deteriorated even 30 years ago. Salt air and lots of rotting vegetation inside it were not a good combination. I am fairly sure it still had its gun aperture blanking plate then.
A VERY rare vehicle and well worth restoring properly. Good luck
