Full make and model for guys like me who aren't up on all the different variations? Is Bren a make? I found Brenwabor but no just Bren. |

Bren carrier is a regular nickname for the Universal Carrier, built by Avering Barford. The name Bren comes from the Bren light machine gun developed by a Czech company during the war. However, I'm not so sure it is the one, there's something wrong about the tracks. |

its not a member of the Bren/universal Carrier family...those wheels to me indicate something post WW2 of Soviet/Czech/Polish etc manufacture.its definately not European or WW2. |

your right the suspension is off. I know its not a modified weasel or a locust modified. I think they were trying to make it look like the bren carrier though |

Has anyone identified the two light tanks in the rear of the picture? They appear to be M3 or M5 Stewart light tanks. |

The Stuarts in the Background are M5A1s. Not sure what the tracked thing in front is, it is pretending to be a wiesel as the Americans didn't use Bren Carriers, but it certainly isn't a wiesel or Bren carrier. |

Americans used another carrier the T16 which is basically the same as a bren just the American version |

I don't know about the vehicles, but the location is Aldbury, just outside Tring, Herts. I used to drink in the Greyhound Pub, just out of shot! |

this vehicle stumped me for years as it had never seen it when i first saw the film many years ago i have found out it is called a tracked jeep:- http://earlymb.webs.com/fulltrackjeep.html a few were made for the canadian army in ww2, quite a rare vehicle and why it should end up in the film as anyones guess. |

This tracked jeep used in the movie is currently in the Vehicle collection at the Canadian War Museum. |

plugspanner was correct back in 2013, it's a Tracked Jeep not a T16. The original Tracked Jeep prototype was hand-built at the Canadian proving grounds. The Mark I prototypes (which this one is) were built by Willys in the USA, and the Mark II prototypes by Marmon-Herrington. The Mark II has a square body and looks more like the Universal Carrier. https://milart.blog/2014/08/16/canadian-tracked-jeep-willys/ |
