Also on closer inspection of the original tray there is the remains of solid brass rivets. Now I’m scratching my head as to what they were for. I’m not sure if they were for fastening something to the inside of the tray or for something hanging below that has to do with the two wood blocks and locking hasp. On the locking hasp there is the remains of two rivets. The spacing matches perfectly to the p37 web strap ends. Oh to find an interior picture showing the turret basket.

The turret is now just sitting off the side of the race. It’s quite heavy on its own so I’ll be using the hoist to lower it to ground.
