Although still using the same Humber 8 cwt 4x2 chassis as the Humber LRC Mark 1, the Mark 2 had improved ride, and a turret for a Bren light machine gun. Although it is sometimes difficult to tell a Mark 2 from a Mark 3 LRC, the forward fender of the Mark 2 runs along the line of the armor angle of the front of the vehicle (lower at the front, higher at the rear); while the Humber LRC Mark 3 fender is lower and runs in a straight line. |
