I found the two holes, you chaps really know your stuff . I guess the proper decal is going to be hard to find?

Attached some more pictures. Note the Ford ID on the bogie assembly. The small bracket under the ration box, what is it for? Also what was bolted on the rear armor? Thanks,Phil

..is for the pointy-in end of the starting crank.

I've actually used the crank a few times - surprising how easily the old bugger starts...

Now that you have posted these pictures, I agree with Rob, that your carrier is A Canadian built hull, not because it has FMc, but because of the type of armour plate in the 3rd photo. Yoyu need to get a hold of a Canadian carrier book. It will answer lots of questions.
I have added a pic of an Id plate. The picture belongs to Bob Carrerie, previously posted on this forum.
