Israeli Bren Gun Carriers dumped in the sea when they withdrew from the Sinai in 1948 ?. My dads friend witnessed them being pushed off the back of the ship.

The road wheels probably have mint rubber. Would sure solve the problem a lot of people have with wanting to cast new ones. Guess it would be pretty tough to disassemble the suspension three atmospheres down though.

AOP Carrier??
The carrier in the 3rd and 4th pictures looks to me like an AOP. And actually looks in better condition than the one I may be starting with!!

123 feet of water! All that would take is a old ship with a picker and a big hook. Just catch it on almost anything and up they come.

I guess the only question is - what kind of bait would you use to catch those bottom dwelling carrierfish ?
