Early denotes the original, downwards pointing air intakes which caused so many problems.

Rear guard denotes just the very last guard section above the drive sprocket.
Partial guard denotes the section next to the late air intakes + rear guard present.
Mostly full guard denotes full mudguards on reworked vehicles, minus the very fron section.
Full guard denotes full mudguards on reworked vehicles.
Dodger denotes the ribbed canvas skirt applied to Churchills in the desert to keep dust from blinding the driver.

Open denotes open turret hatches.

Vehicles labeled Dieppe are modelled with minimal track guards, no fuel tank, extended exhausts and no turret bins, as per actual examples.
Extended exhaust models are best reserved for SLA. For FDM, use the "extended exhaust for churchill" file and glue it on. I did actually print the Oke from the SLA file, but cleanup was challenging.

For Churchill III (Kingforce), use Dodger Churchill II hull, and Churchill III turret(with bin).

All vehicles printed sitting on their tracks.
Turrets printed with gun horizontal.
Remove raft then clear out between tracks first.
