1) prototyp z běžné oceli a 5 nebo 7 sériových strojů, které byly převzaty, zbytek byl pravděpodobně skoro okamžitě sešrotován 2) prototyp měl dvanáctiválec Rolls-Royce, zbytek britských strojů motory Ricardo - v roce 1940 bylo větší množství Mk.VIII nabídnuto za cenu šrotu k výcviku Kanadě, ta ale dala přednost M1917
