Hey, is that the same gun as on the FV 215b (183), or a different model with the same calibre?
It looks to be the same gun, but on the conqueror hull, which might make the gun look a bit smaller in comparison to the Cent. application.
Makes sense.
Same gun (more or less - the Conway had a 7 round autoloader that may not have carried through). Exactly what the gun was is a little less clear - the ammunition (or at least the HESH shells*) was shared with the 7.2" Howitzer from WW2, but I can’t actually find any evidence if much else of the gun was shared.
- The 7.2" Howitzers had been used for the trials of large HESH projectiles so they were piggy-backing off this work. In the circumstances, I suspect it’s a plain old 7.2" Howitzer in a different mounting - only one or two gun barrels appear ever to have existed.
The grey thing is a Centurion Mark 3 converted into a target tank to teach infantrymen how to shoot MILAN and Carl Gustav AT rockets at actual moving targets, using inert projectiles.

Also, I don’t have a ready picture and, because I have guard duty early tomorrow, I lack the time to actually find a worthwhile one, so please feel free to post another enigma. I actually enjoy searching for the right answer a lot more anyway.

You really should have obscured the registration number!
Gah, its been so long since I posted one that I forgot! D’oh!
A “senior Moment” at your age? 
Yeah, already right?
Its a super-DUKW!
Nope, not American!
Curses… Then again, injecting DUKWs with steroids is a terrible idea.
It is a rather little obscure vehicle, isn’t it? The mystery vehicle is none other than the British Terrapin MK II 5-ton Amphibious Vehicle. Only 5 were ever produced. Here’s the relevant wiki link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrapin_(amphibious_vehicle)
Yep, all yours
Was the Terrapin built by Alvis? it has that look about it…
Designed by Thornycroft, manufactured by Morris.
Thank you. I should have seen the Marina pedigree in it…
