I've been trying to figure out how they anchored the seat when not in use. That long hinged handle under the gun support arm hooked onto something, but what? In this motorcycle pic it's being used (circled in yellow) but what would it hook to on a truck? The seat has a pin that would have been spring loaded to stop it from rotating too. This is a pretty good LIFE pic too.
It looks like the motorcycles used the same setup as the trucks except for shorter legs on the seat. These are both Mark IV mounts.
