I wish people would stop claiming that post-war 17 Pounder Gun Tractor conversions are original Kangaroo or Recce vehicles.

Well, the photos look to be of two different vehicles anyway or are they one vehicle taken at different periods after some restoration?  The glacis plates are certainly different in different photos.  Under the British post-war markings there seem to be markings of the 1st US Armd Div.  An interesting project, but not cheap!

Couldn't agree more. Here is the only known surviving Stuart VI Recce:
