Staghound 'Charger' Conversions

The historical report states that Simmonds had two of these converted to "chargers".

From History - 2 Canadian Special Wireless Section Type "B"

The Corps Commander was Lieutenant-General G.G. Simonds who, I felt, was as fine a Corps Commander as you could find. He was also a spit and polish general and probably felt it was a good image for the men's morale. He had taken a Staghound armoured car and had the turret removed and replaced with a wrap- around windshield and pennants and some white paint striping. The General sitting in this vehicle with a beret and an outriding escort of military police with white gauntlets and white leggings was quite impressive.

So could it be the one in service with the Dutch Army after WW2 is possibly one of Guy Simonds' Staghounds?
