Remote controlled expolosive Carriers.

The Brits made Bren MkIs then MkII's. Then they built Scouts, and then the Universals. Some Universals went to Dunkirk, but not many and they were new then.
The Bren has sloping armour on the left side (and a box on the right guard)
The Scout has right side armour like a universal (and the box on the left side)
Phillip, I recon I could I.D the Scout, in a crowd. No ice scraper for a start. The main gunners front armour is specific to the Scout. There are lots of differences.

Thanks Lynne - for a moment there I thought you had posted up the holy grail inthe form of Scout blueprints, however, as they say on Little Britain "Yeah but no but yeah" - that diagram shows a Bren armoured hood over the front gun apperture on the Scout, whereas it should be the flat pivoting armour plate instead.

Keep your eyes peeled though Lynn. I still feel there may be another Scout extant which just looks like a cut - down Universal .... Somewhere out there...

Cheers

The drawing came to me (back before the internet had properly arrived) as a simple explanation of the differences between the three types. The finer points are not catered for, as it is about the side armour.

Phillip, The MkI Bren also had a flat plate mantlet
