Was the Churchill Mk 111 ever used in the "NA-75" conversion?

I have been looking for a NA-75 with a "welded" turret and I haven't found one yet

What are the odds of finding a NA-75 with a "welded" turret

Hey Billy,
Here's the whole NA 75 Churchill story.
And again.
It looks like the Mk. IV turret was the only one used for conversion
Cheers

Reportedly only one Mk III Churchill was used in the conversion program, but a careless driver drove it off the pier into the harbor when it was about to be loaded, so it never saw combat.
