Yes, I did miss the Mk. II. This is a silly error I would typically be the
one to point out because it is commonly overlooked here in the US where we
didn't get too many of those (let alone TC Escorts... or any Escorts for
that matter).
As for the missing TCs, please keep your ear to the ground. Maybe the
phantom owner of the stockpile will own up some day.
