This looks like an early production MK3, with MK1 style top opening stowage bins on the hull and MK2 style turret casting with 17 pounder access hatch at the rear and loaders periscope on the hull roof. Good for the first 500 of 3500 production. Haya's will have the MK3 top opening bins and option parts to convert to MK5 turret roof, B type barrel with fume extractor, search light and .30 Browning for the commander. Some video of it running here...
