Light Tank Mk II
The Mark II used a 66 hp (49 kW) Rolls-Royce engine which was, along with the Wilson preselector gearbox and transmission, on the right-hand side of the tank. This left the left-hand side free for the driver and commander. Tanks for use in India had an 85 hp (63 kW) Meadows engine and a "crash" gearbox. The turret was rectangular in form and the machine-gun was modified for vehicle use with a pistol grip instead of the spade grips of the infantry version.[3]

Mk IIA: 29 constructed at the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich
Mk IIB: 21 built by Vickers-Armstrong[3]
