Default m32 or other variants

Did the British/Canadians use the m32 tank recovery vehicle or any of its variants during ww2?
On missing lynx.com (a modelling forum) some one mentioned the 15/18 krh as British users, can anyone confirm this?
Hanno's sherman register mentions the sherman II arv III for the m32b1 in british designation.

thanks wim

Wim,

All I know is that the British used the Sherman II ARV III (M32B1 TRV) in the Middle East.

Did they refer to the picture shown below from the 8th Kings Royal Irish Hussars (RAC)website? This photo comes from Cliff Dowding. He was a Trooper in Recce Troop 8th Kings Royal Irish Hussars, but that does not mean for certain this M32B1 TRV belonged to the 8th Kings Royal Irish Hussars.
