T-16 Universal Carrier

The project as we received it prior to doing the restoration. American-made for the British during WWII and sold to the Swiss after the war. The Swiss removed most of the British added modifications and added their own so quite a bit had to be researched and then changed back to wartime military configuration.

T-16 as configured for support of 4.2-Inch mortar carrier platoon.

The bins over the gunner side tracks contain carriers for 4.2-inch mortar bombs.

The rail spanning the rear sides was to assist troops in unloading bombs and other equipment as needed.

A Bren gun was carrier mounted on the side of the armoured wing along with mortar aiming stakes.

A second Bren could be carried beside the radio operator with a PIAT and rifles for the remaining crewmen mounted on top of the engine compartment.

The wireless set is mounted behind the driver and a tripod with AA support mounts was carried over the rear engine compartment vents.
