no problem this is the escence of a good forum
 mind these images came from an issued service book, if you think they are good they are the tip of the iceberg in comparison to what is in Nigels books.http://www.universalcarrierbook.co.uk/ Nigel always makes time for me when i email him and his books are second to none ! if you go onto my Mk1 restoration thread Kevin powles has put some excelent reference photo's on there, the one he has photo'd is a Mk1 setup for desert config (extra holders for water cans on the back) it has a Mk2 speedometer on. but shows some close-ups of the back end.

Update:
After getting the info from Richard I have re-done the covers on the rear deck of my carrier. Here are the pics. As for the box on the back I have seen so many different sizes and shapes hard to choose which one to go with

I was just thinking that myself! The tarp situation is such that it drapes near both exhausts on a MK2 I think your scale model has more of the makings of a Mk1? You could do with a copy of Nigels book, for detailed specification. Ron

Boy am I confused now. What is the main difference between the MkI and the MkII? I thought the MkI'a had the flat section on the front out to the end of the gunner's shield then it slopped down where the MkII slopped all the way up to the drivers shield. Did all carriers carry a radio? I want this mainly as a troop carrier armed with a bren gun
