Ram ARV

I came across these two photos of Ram ARV’s in the book “Images of War Sherman Tank” by Gavin Birch. They are IWM H29336 and H29350. The book is a very good reference source of photos of the Sherman tank in British service. But why dose it contain two photos of the Ran ARV?

Could this be an RAM ARV1 in the background?

Are the images that appear in Wheels and Tracks #52 the sum total available for the Ram ARV Mark II, or are there others floating around that someone here may be able to post? The configuration of the spade and its attachment points are difficult to decipher from these images.

Cheers,

Chris

One the side of the RAM are a pair of long pry bars what were they used for? Couple of years ago one of these was left behind by a vendor at our club rally. I’ve used it for a number of things over the years, but I’m curious about the real use.
