Centurion Dozer query

[Mike C]

Gents,

 

Have been told that the British Army did not up-armour (applique armour kit) the upper glacis plate of their Centurion Dozer tanks. This was said to be due to the unacceptable increase in overall weight on the front suspension units, when added to the weight of the dozer attachment kit.

 

True or false? Supporting evidence?

 

Does anyone have any documents relating specifically to the Centurion Dozer kit, please, that they would be willing to provide me with copies of?
