I will post a scan of a wartime manual that conflicts with your scan! I am off to Qatar so it will be a while before I can scan it, these wartime manuals really do contain some errors, the trouble is there is no way of knowing which ones are at fault.
There is an archive memo which states for Loyds, no1 is 85 uk, no2 is 85 overseas and no3 is 95 overseas. The parts manuals state no1 is uk, no2 is USA and no3 is Canada and goes on to spec them individually as all 221ci, this is repeated in TD14758 a wartime drawing concerning carrier nomenclature. The overhaul manuals list all Loyd versions in the introduction and state that only no1 and no2 versions exist. All documents are 1943/4 dates. In one of the Canadian documents that N Watson uncovered dated December 1943, it states, 'test of 95hp engine not yet completed so it has not been released for the Universal Carrier', bit poor if you ask me as it was already 4 years old by then!
