Canadian factory mortar carriers did not have firing rests, pogo stick bases or spring clips. No antenna brackets on the rear passenger vertical engine cover protection plate either.
But.... Canadian mortar carriers (Mk.II) were based on Mk.I* hulls and had all the non essential holes riveted shut. Why there aren't holes for the firing rest rear may have to do with this being a mortar or something else rear deck of a British carrier. Those pairs of rivets in the pics are not Canadian Mk.I.
