Hi George

To help answer some of your questions.

#1 The sprockets with the "lip" all around are earlier ones. The later carriers seem to have just been flat plate that the sprocket was cut out of.

#2 On the MK1 Carriers the exhaust cover on the L.S. was solid with asbestos pad due to the tarp resting on it. The R.S. cover only needed a grill as nothing was sitting on it. On a Mk2, I believe the way the tarp is folded around the stowage bin, it would make both ends of the tarp resting on the exhaust covers.

Hope it helps some.
