Carriers in use with 49th Infantry Division

[Rlangham]

Hey all, just wondering if anyone had any photos of carriers with the polar bear divisional sign of the 49th West Riding Infantry Division? Specifically looking for ones of the Leicestershire Regiment, but any from the 49th will do. To start off, i've attached a photo taken this weekend of a Universal Carrier from the Wheatcroft collection with the badge of the 49th.

Cheers, Rob

It is not very clear, but I have found one photo of a carrier from the 49th Division with an M-10 beside it.

Rob,

Look out for unit markings with the number 68, that was the 1st Leicestershire Regt.
