Text in original Preserved Tanks In Germany publication:

This Conqueror is little more than a rusted wreck. It is missing its left-hand track and its right-hand track is half off. It is missing some roadwheels and most of its external components. It is partly embedded in the ground. Its turret faces backwards with its gun over the engine deck.
It appears to be ‘02 BB 24’. This tank was built as a Mark II at ROF Dalmuir and was in service from October 1958 to May 1965. It is now a hard target on the Belle Alliance range at Sennelager. (Source: Conqueror, R. Griffin).
