Also, see Ron Pier, this thread, Post #’s 8 & 9.
Yeah, slight differences in the stowage in the MK-II under the British Chilwell publication when compared with the MK-II* from the Canadian FUC-03. For example, the pick helve stowage brackets #34. There are examples of gaps between what was published in a catalog or manual vs. what ended up in field use.
Images show the Boys ATR ready position stowed in a carrier as late as April, 1945 in Germany.
