Dirk it was a ronson carrier, it would not have been a mortar carrier as it has the radio battery box in situ and appears to have been since factory built. i would suggest at a guess that it either left the factory as a ronson carrier or was a GP carrier with the flame projector kit retro fitted at a later date.
the pintle mounts may be as per the rails i have seen them mounted on the inside and the outside on various Mk1;s (rails this is)
I am green with envy that Shauns has the pintle mounts, dash pannel with gauges, tool box etc etc these are in my opinion all the expensive and hard bits to get (if you want originals)
