Thanks for posting these. The caption for the Covenanter tank is somewhat economical with the truth. A scholarly work - "Rude Mechanicals" (1987) states, inter alia; "Nearly 2,000 Covenanters were made before being withdrawn from service soon after they had been issued. There were other ill-famed tanks to come but Covenanter was the most comprehensively worthless."
And the power that be authorised almost 2,000 to be built!
