Kooshmeister wrote Randomly I noticed the second Ferret (without the radar dish on it) has a larger front viewport, and although the actual viewport cover is missing you can see the hinges showing it opened folding down, not up. It's also somewhat lower to the ground than the other one.

Having a look at the different Ferrets listed here I believe this might make it an MkII.


Agree? Disagree? Other ideas about the differences besides different Marks? Hit me. :)

While I don't want to disagree, you're right about the viewport, it's a two-in-two system, overall the whole thing has been removed for ease of viewing, the Ferret on the left isn't sporting a radar while the one on the right is, but, as for height differences?, well, look at the Ferret on the left (the front fender) then the one on the right, you can follow an imaginary line that makes the two vehicles virtually the same height - even at this camera angle. And, I could see that there might be a slight height discrepancy what with the radar unit vehicle, but, I still think that they're the same.

I've taken the radar dish/lack of radar dish into account and concluded it's definitely lower to the ground anyway (the one with the radar has higher ground clearance for some reason). As for the viewport you're right about that; I recently noticed that.

But seeing as how these are listed as being different model years ('52 and '54) I think they should be listed separately. That is until if and when someone can confirm this isn't a '52 Ferret. Granted there isn't anything saying it is, but I'm just saying is all.

i am sorry Gentlemen, but you are wrong

take another look

the entire hatch is missing from the Ferret on the left, but the hatch is still fitted to the Ferret on the right

there is a hatch inside a hatch, the middle part with the periscope folds up and is held in a frame which folds flat onto the front armour

We've already established that:
