Text in original Preserved Tanks In The Netherlands publication:

This Centurion Mark 5/2 was formerly on display at 42nd Tkbat, Havelte when it was in drivable condition. It was there for years parked under the sheds together with the Leopard 2s. On special occasions, such as a new commander, the battalion’s adjutant would drive the tank; he was the one with a Centurion driver’s licence. “58C” indicates 58th Tank Battalion, “S00” indicates battalion commander.
