We need to know the true number and date of manufacture stamped on the top front armour plate.

It certainly appears to be a Mk1 and if the head lights are correct of Canadian manufacture.

The Mk11 components are probably a post war add on.

So he is looking for 45,000 euro for the vehicle?

If the owner gets the 45000 euro he is asking it will be a new world record for a carrier.
It´s re-advertised on MilWeb now:
