Thank you for all the replies. I noticed the chisel marks on the rear plate so it must be original. Small portions of the original armor plate are left along with the rivets, all around the perimeter; we noticed the plate on the front was thicker. I got a picture of a decal on the front right fender, almost readable. Strangely when my son turns the steering wheel, standing in front, the machine seems to move. There is a layer of snow on her today. Phil

It's a "command" decal But I can't tell which.

I will bet that it is "CENTRAL COMMAND" It's very hard to make out but you can almost see it.

You have the remains of a MK2 Carrier. I can tell by the upper engine frame rails and the lack of radio battery holes in the rear plate. The other partial give-away is the fold up seat attached to the armoured rad cover.

I have duplicated the chisel marks with a dull axe and you can't tell the difference.

My son was looking at the 'command' decal picture again and came up with this on the top line: _ INT_A_
I think any loops on the machine have been welded on to help with it's previous roll in a hunt camp. Geoff, that's the most interesting steering system I've ever heard off. I think I'm better off than some to have that system working. Jordan, is it a good thing to have a MK2? Are they more common? I'm really in the dark about the differences. I've never heard of using an axe for metal work. That's very innovative. I was trying to figure out what kind of chisel would make that long groove. Here is another pic. Water pumps appear to be built in to the block. Hope it's the original motor. Phil ![]() |

It's possible that it is the original as it has the cast iron intake. There is a engine no. on the top left rear of the engine. It's between the intake and the head, there is a flat surface there, right beside the feul pump base, and being a MKII it should start with a "T"

I see that you still have one number that you should be able to find other than the engine number and that's the lower hull number. It is on the piece of angle iron that the bottom of the rear armer plate is riveted to. it's on the left side over the left track It should start about 2-3 inches in from the end of the angle iron. Good luck. P.S. It's below that little pice of pipe that someone welded there.
