M13/40 Series
The Carro Armato M13/40 was derived from the M11/39 and was produced from 1940. Its first use was in Greece, then in North Africa.
100 examples of the first series were built from June 1940, followed by 100 of the second series (distinguished by short mudguards). The first series had two spare roadwheel units fixed at the back of the hull and an unknown device (possibly a spare piece of equipment or a jack) fitted on the front left corner of the superstructure; this device replaced the left hand spare roadwheel unit from the second series. From Spring 1941 the third series began to be built. This had a number of changes to the rear deck including new grills and radiator covers; some 410 were eventually produced.

Carro Armato M14/41
Some 695 examples of the M14/41 were produced from July 1941, based on the M13/40. They were fitted with a new Spa diesel engine that was equipped with air filters designed to cope with desert conditions and this improved performance and reliability. The M14/41 was fitted with long trackguards similar to the first series of the M13/40 but had the rear roadwheel and device stowage arrangement, and rear deck vents, of the third series. However, the radiator grills of the M14/41 were transverse relative to the vehicle hull whereas all M13/40s had the grills running longitudinally. Also, the exhausts had simple, cylindrical covers compared to the various M13/40 models which more complex ribbed ones. There were two series of M14/41, differing only in details of the mudguards (the second series had strengthening cross ribs).

According to museum records this M14/41 was despatched to an African distribution centre in July 1942 so it is assumed to have been captured in North Africa during 1942 (though the location is not known). It was examined at the School of Tank Technology, Chobham Lane, Chertsey, before being moved to Bovington. It was put on the museum books in 1951. It shows signs of damage to the track guards and other external parts. It is displayed with its driver’s hatch open and side hatch removed so the interior can be seen; mannequins illustrate the driver and co-driver positions.

Carro Armato M15/42
The M15/42 was built from the end of 1942, some 220 being produced for the Italian Army. They had a petrol engine, lengthened hull and tracks, a longer 47/50 gun, and most obviously the crew access hatch on the hull was moved from the left side to the right. They retained the long mudguards of the M14/41 but the longer hull produced obvious distinguishing characteristics such as a large gap between the middle roadwheels, extended exhausts. As part of the changes to the rear hull, the device stowed with the spare roadwheels was moved back to the front of the superstructure; usually on the left side but sometimes on the right.
