You could be right Bruce? I'm sure the British ones were black. Ron

Edit: The number wasn't easy to read from the pictures, it's T297196.

Post the data plate information and we may be able to tell you more. Contract number, with serial number and month/year of manufacture.

Hi Asbjorn, She looks like a very nice carrier.
As you are looking for criticism,
What is happening along the side at the front guard?
Is that a normal mirror arm arrangement?

I completely forgot about this thread, sorry! Thank you for all your replies.

The carrier was built by Ford Canada, do you have a picture of what the correct headlight looks like? The water cans will be painted the correct color, thank you.

I'm sorry I didn't see this sooner, the museum is close to Stavanger on the south-west coast. Contact me if you're in the area again and I'll open the museum for you, any of you. Our website is http://krigshistorisk-museum.no.

Thank you, the missing side skirts of the guards will be put back on when they have been sandblasted and painted. Don't know about the mirror arm, it does look longer than the ones I've seen on other carriers.
