kevin the shot you have attached looks more like a 6 pounder to me i know they used the 6pdr shields on 2pdr attack carriers in Canada but that shot shows clearly it has a 6pdr saddle and elevator gear and only thing i can see different is it looks likea 2pdr operating handle on side of breach
In Australia they mounted a 2pdr on rear of carrier and amo was in a toast rack on right side that held the eight rounds in standard storage tins with cardboard tubes i think they had four tins in them . The standard 2pdr anti tank gun had two boxes of ammo in a ready use locker on right of gun and another two tins of rounds in storage behind this locker in front of shield which was standard to all uk and australian 2pdr anti tank guns
if you need shots of standard 2pdr eight tround tins let me know
regards' rod
