WHITE DISC INFO SOUGHT
Another part I'm looking for information, construction details and dimensions on is the white disc and bracket on the rear underside attached to the right hand exhaust pipe. Does anyone have an original and can provide this?

Bruce,
I have an original,(it is painted green with slight traces of white peeking through).I will try to post pics

Mike, the white discs, or sometimes a circle of white paint on the differential, was used on Commonwealth vehicles as a Blackout Convoy marker. With the tail lights extinguished, the illuminated white disc/paint would be visible to the following driver, but not for example to Aircraft or an observer off to the side.
