From first glance looks to be mk2 but I can't tell if it's Canadian or Brit... I am saying mk2 on the basis that the square holes on the transom are missing.... It is riveted and has the round armour top rifle rests on and appears to have the four bolts for the smoke discharged bracket on the gunners side armour

Can we get a pic of the engine bay please ?

It seems it has casted stacey arms, so possibly Canadian made Mk.II? Just a thought...

This is a Canadian MK2 , I think it's the one I was offered about 10 years ago . A guy in Norway was selling it at the time . It had the same conversion to the front wheels . He also had a very restorable alloyed carrier with 2 holes in the side from the Pak 36 that knocked it out . I will see if I can find the photos of it on top of another vehicle in the pile .
