Another interresting Loyd Carrier for AB2 : The Belgians received a large number of Loyd Carriers after the war, which served in their army until 1963. The Belgian company MECAR analyzed the German 80mm PAW 600 low-pressure anti-tank gun and developed a 90mm L/28 weapon from it, capable of penetrating 350mm of rolled homogenous armor using HEAT rounds. In 1954, this weapon was mounted on the front of a Loyd Carrier, producing the 90mm CATI (Canon Anti-Tank d'Infanterie Automoteur) tank destroyer.
