I recently received a British 95mm howitzer tank sight made in 1956 and was wondering what vehicle used it. Can anybody help?

The Centaur IV did (that's a WW2 tank based on a Cromwell)

The Churchill VIII did too, I think (?)

Yes it did.

* Centaur IV tank
* Cromwell VI tank
* Cromwell VIII tank
* Churchill V tank
* Churchill VIII tank
* Churchill XI tank
* Alecto I SPG

Thanks, I just thought it was strange to have a 1956 date.
