Well after looking at some of my WW2 books i have. I think it might be carrier armoured OPNo.1 Mk III, base on the bren carrier types but was redesign for a light anti-tank role. There are maney roles that the british and other allies made the Universal Carrier. Troop carrier, antitank, mortar support, and afew more where design base on the carrier for different types of jobs in the war.

I might be wrong with this one in the photo cause i only read about the different types of Universal Carriers they made during the war and the book only had some photos of them not all of tthem.

By the way the USA made there own type of carrier base from the british Universal Carriers. T-16 Carrier re-engineered by Ford. The Canadians use some T16 also.
