    Post war production was all Mk1*.

    The 'tanker' myth came about because when the tank corps were asked whether the deletion of the hammer spur would unduly affect their use in tanks or during their training, they replied that the hammer spur played no part in their use inside the tanks or in training as the tankies were never taught to use the hammer in any case. It was redundant.
