After a few suggestions as to why this engine cover has had angle iron welded to the back section to heavily reinforce it? There are also a number of bolt holes towards the front of the cowling and more holes just behind the top vent. These holes do not appear in other cowlings that I have. My guess is that it may be an engine cowling from a MG mortar carrying carrier?. I know that there is mention in books that the engine cowling was reinforced for the mortar mounting and perhaps this may have been how it was done?
