Looks like a one off experimental SPG.
Wonder if the Navy were missing one of their guns.
Found this in [link=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centurion_tank]WIKI[/link]
FV3802
Self-propelled 25-pdr artillery prototype based on Centurion - engine at rear as in gun tank - no production
FV3805
Self-propelled 5.5in artillery prototype, again based on Centurion - engine at front - no production
FV4004 Conway
prototype based on Centurion 3 with a larger calibre 120mm L1 gun. One built
FV4005
experimental 180mm gun with concentric recoil and auto-loader mounted on Centurion - 183mm version also built, with hand loading and conventional recoil.

I believe it is a prototype/experimental. After seeing the Stalin tank at the berlin vistory parade, Britain tried to match it finally leading to the Conquer heavy tank

RE: DOSE ANYONE HAVE DETAILS OF THIS TANK
Why not send the photo to Bovington and ask? I have corresponded with them to both provide and obtain photos & info and they were always very nice and helpful.
