1943, loads of carriers would have been sent out to North Africa, they had taken Tunisia back, and were preparing for operation Husky with a view to using Sicily as a stepping stone for the planned landings at Salerno (Op Avalanche) So it would make sense to have the ME stowage installed at factory level. I love the line of carrier hulls in that shot on what I assume is a conveyor belt.
