No - some Centurions were brought back out of storage in the 70's,
specifically for use by the Engineers as additional AVRE units. They just did not change the gun from the 105 to a demolition howitzer is all. Chieftain was the line AFV by then, bar a few perhaps still in Hong Kong and/or Brunei.
So it was an
Armoured
Vehicle,
Royal
Engineers - not a line tank with dozer blade.
