Andy,
If'n I remember correctly, it is stowed closest to being a standard Mk
II infantry carrier. Before the war the carriers were slightly different
for different roles: scout carrier, Bren Carrier, MG, cavalry, etc. This
was wasteful in a war economy and all carriers were made the same
(universal) and only the stowage indicated what role it was to play.
Generally, I believe it is reasonable accurate in dimension, of course
the armoured walls are too thick, but fixing that is a personal thing.
