carriers in the snow
I just thought I'd ask before I went out and got myself in trouble. How do carriers do in the snow? Can they make it thru the deep stuff or do they just bog down? It looks to me that they might just plow snow up in front of them until they can't push anymore?

In which case, you just hunker down with a brew and wait it out!

Or you get a Pal to clear the snow from the track. Make sure he pays close attention to what he's doing:

Snow carriers
Hi Tony, Great pictures of the LP 2 and crew. Imagine fixing track in those cold conditions, makes my fingers ache just thinking about it. Were they taken over here somewhere in NZ or up the Blue Mountains around your area. Thanks David...

I asked at C.T.C and they said they were obsolete. They said to try Wally-world.

In response to the question about the hole on the side of the carrier I think it was part of the early flamethrower conversions.
I think this was the Ronson. You can see the hole and some sort of coupling for the fuel hose that ran outside the hull. Perhaps it allowed the operator to turn a valve while remaining inside the vehicle.
