Yes, thanks for the info! I've got the Osprey book and I found the second site, but the other has better info.
I've scoured my Jersey Occupation library (I actually have one!), but there is sadly little info on the FTs and very few photos;

This is the only book I've got that documents the armor in Jersey, but it's almost entirely about the B1 bis.
These are the only actual photos of FTs on Jersey that I could find;

Here's two FTs. The forward tank seems noticeably dirtier. The Jersey FTs didn't seem to have the ID plates on the front and rear sides that the Continental Captured FTs had.

The Jersey FTs seemed to have the same markings as the ones used in France, including the same number 7 on the turret. The MM kit looks like a standard FT, without the Polish thinner tracks, so I think I can build the kit as is and have a good representation of the Jersey FTs.
Hopefully, I can get back to some building tomorrow!
