Pete,
Here is IWM film of elements of 8th AB entraining at Newmarket for the south coast in preparation for D-Day. https://film.iwmcollections.org.uk/record/2170 Amongst the vehicles is a Loyd TS&C (confirmed by census number) which carries the same markings as the Shermans, Valentines and Crusader AAs- ie Div/Brigade sign, AoS square with unit number and Squadron sign As an aside, interesting to see the 17 Pdrs on the Fireflies covered by tarps. Simon

The second Loyd is a starter charger as it has the pioneer tools on the front. It looks to be marked 994 which should be 4/7th Royal Dragoons Guards of the 8th independent armoured brigade. Most of the vehicle's look to be marked 994 but did see a Sherman towards the end marked 996 which should be Nottinghamshire Yeomanry. Peter |

I think these vehicles are most likely to be manned by unit trades men rather than the REME LAD which was limited in size. You can check the establishment for a Tank Regiment LAD but I would be surprised if it includes Loyd Carriers.
