Here is a photo. If you need a better one, I can try again with some better lighting.

Ralph: I had no signs of it being a mortar carrier, but then again, despite it having been an ebay carrier represented as "all original", the upper armour was off a later carrier than the lower, and the entire back armour was a fake. I have only included the numbers relevant to the upper armour.

There were 1,053 3" mortar Carriers made in 1943
(188 in 1942)

All your numbers put it in line with those.

That said who knows what happened since then. It has been said that that post war some were refitted to infantry use.

If you wanted you could justifiably kit it out that way.

LOL or not
