Agreed! I believe that this is what you describe above?

I do hope that everyone notices that this will be an RUC pig, not an Army one, as the army ones had side lockers that reached to the front of the rear wheel arches, not just to the top of them. Sorry, not an expert on the FV numbers.

The thread just below on Northern Ireland vehicles provides more detail.

Chris I assume you mean FV1620's FV1609 as it is complete and the pictures Clive posted are from his archive during conversion from a Mk 2 to the Original Mk 1.

You are quite right about the lockers. Whilst the shape is different the mechanics of them are similar apart from the RUC/ ARMY/ Development process deviations.

I am sure Clive (FV1620) can quote us chapter and verse on the differences and why etc.
