I assumed plenty of Universal Carriers never left Britain, being used for training purposes. I want to depict one, but I have no idea of what type would be typical or how it would be marked.

Seems one or two of the Riich Models kits have UK based ones. Colors would most likely be SCC2 "Dog poop brown" Up till June 6, 1944 ALL in the UK were training, whether with a school or "front line" unit.
