By delving into research, I found this article:

WOW !!!!
I did not know existed Churchills CS with Panzer III "hats" !!!!
AMAZING !!!
And as I love rare real things, this project has become the next on my list:
Churchill Mk I CS with Panzer III cupola !!!
Time to search, again....
The Churchills CS were tanks that switched the guns position: The 2 pounds gun was for the hull and the 3-inch howitzer went to the tower. These Churchills were called Close Support (CS):
Well, on the website mentioned above, I found these pictures:
After some work in the sepia photo, here's the details:
The ASHBOUNE Churchill Mk I CS:
And the BUSHMILLS Mk I CS:
But a closer look at the details of BUSHMILLS photo, it seems that BOTH GUNS ARE THE SAME CALIBER!!!
What do you think??
The only photo as I know of a Churchill with two howitzers was this:
font:
Itīs possible???
And since we are researching, what do you think is written in the fenders of Bushmills?
My opinion:
Brainstorm....
And using the topic: How about these markings I did on PhotoFiltre, for CS with cupola Panzer??
Are consistent??
Waiting (anxiously) the opinions and suggestions of you ...
and sorry for the topic is so long ...
I got carried away ...
