I think the ones marked "Not For Tanks" was to make sure they were not interchanged with the Vickers light Tank.(a heavier machine) You have cottoned on to something that most of us were not aware of. I believe the experimentation was on going. Nigels first book covers some variations in the construction (casating and fabrication) I guess the British manufactures produced variations, just as theAussie manufacturers did with the LP2/2a's.
I know of a pair of suspension forks that are cast from solid bronze.

Hi all, I can safely say the T16 I have in Adelaide has not got bronze arms. They are cast and appear to be solid.
Colin.

Here are some photos of bogie arms from a 2-pdr carrier that seem to match your description of a deep flange

Tony,

Overloon's Conger carrier has the I-beam suspension arms, as well. It also started life as a "Sentinel wagon" mortar carrier.
