Commer TS3,the Shah of Iran before being deposed had Chieftain turrets fitted to Centurian hulls because they had the Rolls Royce Meteorite V8 petrol eng very reliable a cut down Merlin engThat could be a bit inconvenient during the heat of battle.
I knew of that spec, but thought it was a Commer build and design.

I've only ever seen one belt drive bogie, the belts ran between the duals from the driven to a lazy axle. I think it was a Perkins powered Commer, back in the mid 70's.
