universal carrier

[Nick Bullock]

Hi Fellas
I have lloked a little more closely at the numbers on my vehicle. What I am trying to work out is wether or not the (newly) afixed data plate on the carrier actually belongs to this vehicle.

I understand from an earlier post that the hull number and the vehicle number can be with in a certain range..

the vehicle dtat plate details are
Universal Carrier No2 Mk2*

Serial Numbers:

Model UC No2 Mk11
Serial 27371 (listed in CMPINFOEX 1991 as 27571)
Hull 23876 (listed in CMPINFOEX 1991 as 23875)
Engine TL-28955-F
CD 2609 (a contract for 2500 Welsh Guard Stowage Carriers??)
July 1944

and the number stamped in the rear angle iron is:

Rear body / hull number 26902 (angle iron)

my question? is ot likely that thiese numbers relate to the same vehicle??

my best wishes for the new year
