The base would probably be a wooden filler to level out the running board over the hull angle iron letting the 'container' sit flat. I can't believe this is the first time any of us had any idea such a thing existed. At 1,000 carriers per month #11954 is 2-1/2 months before mine making it +/- December 1942/January 1943. It follows, if this is legit, I need to make one.
There is a water can container that hangs on the armour (sometimes seen on the outside). If CO1UC 1057474 is not the bracket under the smoke bomb bin then it would have to be this.
