- Maple_Leaf_EhWhile you are looking for numbers and stampings, check to see if it is original CARC paint? Chemical and Radiological Coating (???) The new Leo at Royal Military College was repainted in semi-gloss green to completely seal up the otherwise toxic CARC paint.
- Scott_TaylorHi Lesley:
I'll check the construction number the next time I'm at the museum. Driver's side of the glacis plate, correct?
I don't doubt that this is a Leopard C1 hull. The turret really did appear to be a Leopard 1A5 turret (or some other cast turret variant) cut in half horizontally and locked in position facing aft, as opposed to just a generic weight added to the hull. Why this would be done, I don't know.
Cheers,
Scott
