Centurian MK7 during 1971 war, Note the barrel thickness and a metal strip over fume extractor, This is a 20 pounder B model.

Dear friends!
First off all please sorry for my english and not knowledge Hindi!
Please is it possible inform me:
1. Is Centurion Mk5 was in Indian service or not? (Mk7 only?)
2. What quantity Centurion tanks was in Indian service and when (year) its finished its career in India?
3. What is the external difference between Mk5 and Mk7 ?

1. MK7 was most numerous, I doubt we fielded MK5 against PA ..
2. Considered best, Retied in phased manner by 1975 ..

Where can I get info (in detail) Indian Centurion Mk 7? First of all engine section. May be you have "walk around" this example?
I want build a model Indian Centurion , but i have Mk5 model kit and need info for remake Mk5 to Mk7 and protective coloration with regiment marks. The best will be info about tank 2nd Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal.
