Very nice work. Question on the tank riders, I have never seen (but also never looked for) pictures of tank riders on British tanks in the desert. Is this based on a picture or conjecture?
The enemy had superiority in numbers, his tanks were more heavily armoured, they had larger calibre guns with nearly twice the effective range of ours, and their telescopes were superior. 5 RTR 19/11/41

These pictures are very few, but I have found one more:
