The British mostly used their own Churchill tanks and converted them into the “funnies” or special vehicels

For the ARV Mk. I follow this link

It is a complete resin conversion kit. I am trying to find my references for the rest. I lost my file somewhere. Back soon with the rest.

The “Not used” meant by 79th Armoured. The Poles and Canadians used them in Holland in many uses. I am still looking for more reference material on this.
