From The Tank Museum:

The short-lived Oxford Carrier was a replacement for the British Army’s wartime Universal Carrier. It was nowhere near as successful, with only around 400 being built from 1947. It was larger, with space for up to nine infantrymen and, at eight tons, around twice as heavy. It was mainly used for carrying specialist weapons such as mortars, machine guns, or as here, towing the 17 pounder anti-tank gun.
