Don't believe the captions..... That first well known photo is captioned as being 1943 whereas, as David points out, it clearly has a post 1948 registration number.

I have a Central Inspectorate REME document for the "Stuart, Mk6, Gun Towing" as shown in the incorrectly dated photos in earlier posts. It is a provisional inspection and overhaul standards and dated March 1952. I can remember older work colleagues from REME Workshops saying how these were in use in the 1950's pulling 17pdr's. I feel certain these were post-war mods to make use of an obsolete tank.

Yes; lots of 17 pounder tractors, but I wish I could find a pic of a Stuart towing a BAT!
