Hi Patrick. From what I understand, this is actually a Mark I, because of the QF 3″ howitzer in the hull. I believe the Mark II just had a Besa hull MG in the hull instead of the howitzer.

Hi Tim, thank you for the feedback.
It could very well be a Mark I. We don’t know much about this, but the Bovington museum calls it a Mark II, hence the name in the title. Over the years we have often seen that not everything has been named correctly, or is wrongly referend to, in museums. It could also be the case here.
