Given the apparent extensive use of plywood in the upper hulls of the Armoured Snowmobile, I am now rethinking the conversion process of them to early Penguins.

From the newly posted photos of the surviving Russian machine, it looks like a fair bit of the forward plate was either bolted, or riveted in place. There may not have been much cutting off of upper armour as I had originally assumed to reduce a complete AS to just it's lower hull assembly, ready for modification to a Penguin.

Be interesting to examine an early Penguin to see how the replacement upper hull was fitted. Might be easier than we suspected to restore one back to original AS configuration.
