That would be a mk3 the mk1 and mk2 have a Rover Meteorite Petrol V8. Some had a fifth wheel others were draw bar. Max gross weight was 100 ton, 30mph top speed.
My dad used to drive one in Germany. Told me many tales, diff oil boiling at the end of the day. 2 gallons per mile with the petrol ones. They were used to bring the Cheiftain tanks from Calais to Germany when they were introduced. They normally had a crew of 2 but when they moved the Cheiftains there was a 3rd man with a floor mounted machine gun. The tanks were covered and they were ordered do stop for anything, they were paranoid about the Russians seeing the new tank.
Perfect repair. Flawless.
Name names!
