Adam,
Your MkIII looks to have survived very well, as not much has been cut away to improve civilian usability as is usually the case for the carrier wrecks found today. Where did it spend its retirement?

it was used by the army until mid fifties, then served as a Molotov cocktail target until the seventies then the range where was cleared and it ended up in a scrapyard. It what’s saved from here ind the late seventies, and then spent the next decades in the back of a garden. I don’t know when the internal bits and suspension disappeared

Except that he parts are impossible to find, and its hard to find patterns to copy. Most bits you do turn up, are from a Universal MkI* or MkII*.
