Paul,
First of all, welcome to MLU! You'll never find a better group online than here! Your green/blue "159" suggests a regiment in your own 79th Armoured Division. I don't know which one, but I CAN tell you 1CACR were "157" and the British "APCR" were "158". One of us here will no doubt be able to enlighten you further, but I'm pretty sure this was a Canadian carrier in British service (not uncommon). Geoff

this would fit in with it appearing to be an early Mk1 as the Canadian government were making carriers for british contracts early on in the war...Nigel Watson would be able to give the diffinitive answer. it does appear to have the british pattern lamps on rather than the canadian ones....but then again these may be aftermarket items... nice carrier though.
I have schematics for the side armour and center bulkhead and front armour... plus a load of other drawings etc. also have a gunners side armour sheet already cut which is spare.
