The Vickers Mark II Medium Tank. I'm assuming you have already found this site (http://www.geocities.com/Pentagon/Quarters/7413/vmedium.html) as it includes the same image that you posted.

OnWar (http://www.onwar.com/tanks/uk/data/medmk2.htm) site ha a small scale drawing or 1:35 drawing by George C Bradford (http://www.afvnews.ca/1-35g.html).

There's a pic on this page (http://www.1jma.dk/Pics/Jeffrotanks1.htm) with the hatches open.

WWIIVehicles.com (http://www.wwiivehicles.com/unitedkingdom/tanks_medium/mk_ii.html)

You might have to check out a local museum. The only museum pieces I could find were at Aberdeen Proving Grounds and Bandiana in Australia.

Cheers for the help, i had already found most of them, although the onwar link was a new one, this is prooving a tough one to get good refs for!

The tank museum in Bovington, England has a restored one of these, maybe i`ll just have to take a road trip :)
