A couple of observations:

  • BRV49 Crusader II CS, 2pdr is a CS with the 3" Howitzer not the 2pdr. I'd just call it the BRV49 Crusader II CS
  • All of the "Bren carriers" look to be Universal carriers to me, all the Universal carriers are also Universal carriers

Wow! What a lot of kit. Good to see a photo of the Churchill Ark, might need to get one of those.

One for the request list, is the Churchill AVRE with SBG (small box girder bridge) would round out your set of bridging tanks.

Thanks for the feedback, I've edited the Crusader one so all sorted there.  The Bren/Universal Carrier question is one we've had before I think and to be honest the whole thing confuses me a little.  They're all Universal Carriers but if they're carrying a bren gun do they not become Bren Carriers?  I've switched the Airborne and Wasp pictures over to Universal as those don't have brens in them.  But the others do, so don't they remain as Bren Carriers?

The Universal Carrier, also known as the Bren Gun Carrier and sometimes simply the Bren Carrier from the light machine gun armament, is a common name describing a family of light armoured tracked vehicles built by Vickers-Armstrongs and other companies.

The first carriers – the Bren Carrier and the Scout Carrier with specific roles – entered service before the war, but a single improved design that could replace these, the Universal, was introduced in 1940.

The vehicle was used widely by British Commonwealth forces during the Second World War. Universal Carriers were usually used for transporting personnel and equipment, mostly support weapons, or as machine gun platforms. With some 113,000 built by 1960 in the United Kingdom and abroad, it is the most produced armoured fighting vehicle in history. - Wikipedia
