Carrier Questions

[Greg Rogers]

I have a question about my instrument panel. My guess is that it's not original since it looks nothing like the one pictured in the manual. It's also welded to the "new" armour so that's another hint. Does anyone have anything similar? My U.C. is a No2 Mk2* built in May '44.

Another question I have is where do I find the actual number that the carrier was assigned by the Canadian miltary (CT ???). It's somewhere on the front armour plate I think, but part of mine has been cut off. A close-up picture of someone's would be great.

I also included a picture of an interesting book. The original Instruction Book written by Ford dated 1941. It has some good info on how to drive the carrier and general maintenance stuff. A few greasy fingerprints here and there as well.
