You've almost certainly got this but just in case

BTW do you know anything about the stars and stripes draped Hamilton light tank allegedly built to British specs at the top of the page?

Looking at the photos of the 3-ton, one of the oddest features is the exposed front axle! Did they save money on the reduced armor? Were they not planning on running into any rocks?

Reminds me of some Confederate ironclads in the Civil War: "Nice armor. I'm sure that those exposed steering chains on the fantail will pose no problem."
