UC mk2 in Norway

[Michael R.]

That is about as complete as they come. Excellent original appearing example of a late production Canadian made for British contract NO-2 MKII* Universal Carrier C31UCW. The adjustable mirror arm may be correct to other examples, mounted on the exterior right side of the UC NO-2 MKII*, unlike the NO-1 MKI* which is a simple post mounted on the front. Similar to the WC NO-3 MKI* and WC NO-4 MKI*.

Very nice example showing the late modification using Ford CMP truck front bumper "D" rings installed on the rear vertical upper armour. The lift rings are mounted inside the rear compartment where they did not interfere with stowage over the differential cover, or when the Canadian No. 2 FT WASP rear exterior mount flame thrower fuel tank was installed.

The correct headlight, i.e., the headlamp that was installed at the factory in Canada is similar to, but usually not the same as that found on the Ford CAB 11 or CAB 12 CMP trucks. Note the wiring differences and part numbers. Subtle, but different. As "never" and "always" does not apply to wartime production, you could substitute the more common and easier to acquire CAB 11-CAB 12 lamp shell if you thought it was necessary to return to factory standard. But who is to say the Brits did not replace that headlight during service life prior to the carrier being disposed of ?

Thanks for posting!
