It would appear from the original War Office records, that this is a copy of one of Charles Tarrant's drawings from the set of plans, of which three others are at MS 1645 Z.02/14a, MS 1645 Z.02/14b and MS 1645 Z.02/14c. Those three are Charles Tarrant's originals, but the original for this one seems to be missing. This copy is undated.
