Looking For Help to Identify Carrier Please and Thank You

[Seatyger]

OK may be silly question, but if I throw out some photos, can anyone tell me or confirm which version this is?

I'm prepared to wear the Duncecap or buy the Beer, I'm leaning towards MK I because of the rear steps have the rubber, not the welded in checker plate etc. However, without the boxes, lights bells and whistles I'm not sure.

I scrounged up some parts etc., including the piece that had the numbers, I just want to make sure they are in line with the Carrier I brought home and not the 'Hull' that had been converted into a trailer.

Thanks for your time and patience.

Jim

Some photos are in the 'Finally Got it Home; Thread.

Do you start it by pushing a button on the dash.....Mk 1

Or...Lifting a lever on the left of the driver's seat.....Mk 2

your lucky the provenance is still there should be a straight forward job welding it back in...you may need to use stainless wire in a mig but dont quote me.

The best method of welding it back in is with stick using 7018 rod
That way all the seams will be able to be ground back as per original
( no stainless weld line)
Using 7018 rod will also retain the hardness of the original plate
