So, along with T58471 and T58482, that is now 3 British Sentinel Wagon Mortar Carriers within 25km of each other. Seems they're pretty thick on the gound here, more common than Blitzes.

By the way Wayne, welcome to MLU! About time you joined up.

Guys, as far as I know, you dont find serial numbers on English carriers, where you find serial numbers on Canadian carriers.
As far as axles go, English carriers were fitted with standard Ford commercial axles(enclosed prop shaft). I dont know, but maybe, Richard, the difference you are talking about is the difference between an English, and a Canadian carrier. Then of course, Ford changed it axle, from the 1938 model (splined pinion) to the 1940 model(taper and key) as is the difference between an Australian LP2 and an LP2A, but thats another story.
