Big Willie, aka Mother, aka a ton of other names, was the protoype to the 
Mark I, and was armed with a pair of guns (6 pounders I think). Little 
Willie and Big Willie are actually very different.
I've never heard of Little Willie being fitted with armaments, just proposed 
to be fitted with them. I'm not even sure where the gun would have gone, 
although a top mounted turret is what I've read.

Ah, for Refrence.
