I have the AFV Club kit on my "to build this year pile" and also wanted to maybe incorporate the new MjniArt British Officers set.

My question is that the kit markings and color call outs are all for Western Desert which I have no interest in nor one in German markings. Was this type 1 version used later in 44-45 Northwest Europe? Or will I have convert it the type 2 with the curved roof panels and 'pig snout' front end?

I've only searched the Internet and info is rather scarce. If anyone knows of any books I can look for that would be great too. Thanks.
