What are you asking for a wiring diagram or are the markings just missing from the battery leads?

I would guess, positive to earth. Most things British, were back then.

Negative earth actually, as were most British military vehicles at that time.

Kevin, It depends if it is a Mk1, 2 or 3. Mk. 1 and 2 had a single 12 volt battery, where as the Mk3 had two 6 volt batteries.

Daimler Dingo Mk III
Sorry. I am not doing very well with this post at all.
It is just for the Miniart Daimler Dingo Mk III so I guess it would be the two 6 volt batteries as you suggest. Cheers Kevin

tiny batteries
At 1/35 th scale only lilliputian people would know that and judge what's correct or not .

Richard
On polarity.
You obviously know the answer on the Dingo. I concede. On British civvy vehicles I still believe I am correct. I pulled the few books I have available. (only two relate to British ) This cross section might interest some people. MBC1 Canadian Neg earth. GMC ccw 353 25 amp geny Pos earth. GMC ccw 353 40 amp geny Neg earth. UCF1. Canadian MkI carrier. Pos earth. Armoured O.P.MkIII (Brit. carrier) Pos earth. Aust Carriers. Pos earth. All are 6 volt. So Richard  ,during wwII there was obviously mix and match. What,as far as British built went, dictated polarity? It wasnt neg earth for radio equiped vehicles, because the A.O.P. carrier was purpose built to be fitted with radio gear and was pos earth. Your comments.

Small people do matter
Another positive ground ..early WC series 1/2 ton Dodges - T207 and maybe T211 as well ( where is Gordon ) ? ..unusual for a U.S. vehicle but the manuals don't lie , or do they .
And Series 1 Land Rovers . Apparently some mechanical regulators are not immune to polarity swapping .. the points can degrade and pit from the reverse current flow . So I've been told ..doesn't apply to all of them of course. I'm wondering if 1/35 scale batteries have clear + and - markings on them. And it won't be running 12Volts either - it will be .3428571 Volts  I've got nothing against Lilliputians at all.
